Abstract

This paper argues that personalization of learning is the only way for education to move forward. Due to rapidly changing technology and the massive diversity among students, each student must develop a unique jagged profile of capabilities based on his or her strengths and passions in order to thrive in the world of uncertainty. Thus, schools cannot and should not continue to force a homogenous curriculum on all students. Instead, schools should work with individual students to make education personalizable for all students.
