“Fifty years ago, American futurist and author Alvin Toffler predicted that “the illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn.” Today, that foresight has come to pass. And in this environment, the education industry sees an unprecedented transformation due in part to a new industrial revolution.
