How would you like to teach yourself, rather than have teachers? According to the UK’s Department of Education and Skills, students will teach themselves in the schools of the future. This means that there will be no more problems such as finding enough teachers.

Estelle Morris, the UK Education Secretary, opened the 2002 Educational Technology Conference in London recently. To start the conference, she presented a video showing a computer-generated model of the school of tomorrow.

Greater use of computer technology and classroom assistants will help students develop their own way of learning, Morris said. She added that this is a more exciting, as well as a more interesting way of learning.

At the same time, teachers will be freed from their traditional (传统的) role as the source of all knowledge.

Children of all abilities will form the curriculum (课程) around their individual needs. They will learn in their own time, at their own speed and in their own environment.

At home or at school, they will follow their learning programs by looking at online libraries and watching lessons by world-class teachers and subject experts.

Instead of going on field trips, students will use virtual (虚拟的) reality. If they do not understand something, they can ask other students “ take part in virtual communities (社区) with learners”. They will hand in their work electronically to be “auto marked” (自动打分).

The classroom of the future is fast becoming a reality.

And the Department of Education will soon produce a guide to help schools adapt (使适应) buildings for new technology, Morris said. These ideas are based on the UK government’s plan to create (创造) an education system that provides students with a strong grounding of knowledge and skills at primary school level. And provides the chance for students to develop their individual skills at secondary school level.

Morris said that enabling students to follow study programs to their own needs means that, in a class of 15-year-olds, some could be starting university learning while others were still learning to read and write.

A spokesman for the UK’s National Association of Head Teachers said: “Nothing can change the fact that today’s students need to be taught by a qualified, skilled and enthusiastic (热情的) reaching force, and they need that now.
