g-f(2)43 Iberdrola: Disruptive education for meeting the challenges of the future

Extra-condensed knowledge

Disruptive education for meeting the challenges of the future

• A disruption is a sudden break or interruption. Disruptive education is, therefore, that which intends to break with the established model to improve the existing one. And many experts think the change is both necessary and urgent because the current system is anachronistic, in other words it is still anchored in the last century and is failing to address the needs of the digital age.
• Historically, universities have moved slowly and had problems adapting themselves to changes, but they are currently going through a disruptive period.
• Multidisciplinary learning. The frontiers between disciplines no longer exist. Therefore, training must be adapted and content-rich so as to create professionals with a far reaching vision.
