The sands of education are constantly shifting, and in order to stay significant, higher educational institutions (HEIs) need to reinvent themselves in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. With high global unemployment rates of fresh graduates and internal institutional challenges, future conscious HEIs understand the importance of the need to redesigned curriculum, content, and assessments to prepare graduates for employment. Through a detailed evaluation of the newly developed Taylor's curriculum framework (TCF), this chapter will elaborate on the core purposes of this curriculum framework and the governing principles in redesigning a curriculum that focuses on the 21st century needs. By shifting the focus from teaching to learning and by redirecting the focus of assessment from knowledge base to skills base, HEI graduates will be equipped meet the needs of industry, the Fourth Industrial Age and beyond.

At the threshold of a Fourth Industrial Revolution, a combination of factors will cause business model disruptions triggering a simultaneous impact on the employment landscape over the coming years. The changes will affect the employment scenery across various industries, ranging from significant job creation to job displacement, and from heightened labor productivity to widening skills gaps. As a reaction to this volatile and unpredictable work environment, where individuals are compelled to mind their own careers and stable long-term employment is not granted for anyone, vocational psychology, educational institutions and educators are urged to address the issues of employability.The current paper discusses the reasons leading up to the evolving world of employment and the stances/options that institutions and individuals can take to tackle the situation.

Industrial Revolutions basically have transformed human lives. We have gone from hand production to mechanized production into computerization or automation of concepts into products (Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR)). However, 4IR urges the process of transferring data from digital domains and offline reality via interconnected systems to improve lives. The technologies in 4IR enter into varying areas, such as the economy, medicine and education. Educational institutions have contributed greatly to reshaping future technologies by being the test laboratories for innovations. In the meanwhile, there is an immense need for looking beyond the traditional educational approach. This can be achieved by strategically employing the trending technologies to prepare students and educators with the right kind of knowledge and set of skills. It is imperative to ask questions about how the delivery of education will be undertaken and how educational institutions will be restructured by the 4IR to prepare students for the challenges ahead.

The context of Industry 4.0 is changing the training of mathematical students, new and old generations, in such a way that educational institutions implement strategies and actions to adapt study plans according to the requirements of the new industrial revolution. On the other hand, big data is a cybernetic system that functions as a tool that incorporates mathematical training and implementation and that has recently been included in the educational sphere in order to collaborate with the development of specific competencies based on information technologies and communication, with the purpose of interacting in the intelligent environments proposed by Industry 4.0.

The digital revolution led to the birth of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which opened new, unlimited areas of creativity and innovation in various scientific fields. It has created a set of new technologies that combine three key elements: physical, digital, and biological, to produce unprecedented rapid variables in human life. The problem is that this revolution created the challenges facing all organizations and institutions, including educational institutions, when it imposed requirement of highly efficient, the education is required to keep abreast of technological developments, while today's schools are in dire need of further development and innovation in the world Fast changing. Therefore, the school faces many problems through a flood of new information accelerated according to the rapid changes, and need to be creative and more comprehensive assimilation of modern technology. Through the descriptive and analytical approach, the subject was discussed in three sections, first: the dimensions of the fourth industrial revolution. Second: the use of modern technology in schools of basic education, and finally the challenges facing school principals. The findings showed that: The Fourth Industrial Revolution constituted technological breakthroughs, such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, biotechnology, and the mass chain. These technologies have challenged all societies in how to exploit these opportunities. Educational institutions must develop. There was a need for quality graduates characterized by creative thinking, innovative production and adaptation to innovations and inventions. As such, school principals have had many burdens and responsibilities to employ maximum creative management skills to keep pace with scientific and technological progress. The need for an innovative and effective school administration capable of managing change and employing technology in administrative work.

This chapter explores the education required for the fourth Industrial Revolution to prepare the workforce for an economy increasingly disrupted by globalization and technological innovations such as artificial intelligence. It suggests that integrating career-oriented and liberal education, an education of both hard and soft skills, will best prepare students for an economy that will create jobs not yet imagined. The rapidly changing economy will require postsecondary educational institutions to provide lifelong-learning programs to assist students of varying ages to acquire new skills. The chapter looks back at history to see how the country responded to workforce disruptions from past industrial revolutions to gain insights into ways to create educational programs to respond to today’s challenges. The chapter also suggests a much closer relationship between postsecondary educators and employers to bridge the skills gap.
