SUSTAINABILITY AND INNOVATION FOR ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE: WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP FOR EDUCATION?

The importance of education is undeniable. No matter what we want to do or what sector we want to rebuild, we need specialists. And specialists need solid knowledge that can stand the test of time. Another demand of the 21st century is the speed with which knowledge is acquired, so from the beginning of 2020, we live in a "new world" in which online courses have become a reliable help. Young people in poor countries have faced greater difficulties participating in online education, mainly due to a lack of technology and the necessary equipment. Universities and governments around the world have taken steps to make the specialization curriculum more attractive and to improve the teaching-learning process. Online learning demands the use of new and effective teaching tools, so blending online with traditional learning may be the desirable outcome. However, online learning requires clear regulation, and teachers believe that it is appropriate for a limited number of courses, primarily in the Humanities disciplines.
