The higher education sector has gone under a major construction after the 2025 economic collapse. We are in the year of 2035 where education has found a new way to thrive. With so many institutions has been shut down their doors due to lack of funding  and now we are left with a new exciting and emerging solution which is AI powered learning hubs. When senior policy makers, educators, tech experts and community leaders joined forces to revamp from traditional education system failure and decided to create a project called “Bonitos – School of the future”. This project main focus is to turn the traditional libraries and community centers into AI-driven learning spaces. In order to diversify the teaching methods and students needs, these hubs use smart tutors that adjust to each student’s demand and requirements. Instead of traditional exams, these hubs provide micro-credentials to students. The crucial benefit of these hubs is accessibility even for those who are in remote areas.

Dr. Lina Chang, a former professor and education expert, calls this a new era of learning. “Now, every child, no matter where they are, has a digital mentor to help them grow and succeed,” she says (Lab, n.d.).

Even though the world has changed, education has not only survived but improved, proving that learning will always find a way forward.
