The document discusses how the future of education may change dramatically in response to trends like the rise of online learning and skills-based acquisition. It suggests that traditional schools and degrees may become outdated as learning moves online, content is modularized, and cultural norms shift to value lifelong learning over traditional education paths. New types of online-only schools that are much larger in scale could emerge to provide customized, skills-focused education driven by technologies like real-time assessment and A/B testing.
