Based on the experience and an overview of the current
situation, the authors identified two crucial challenges which
have not yet been addressed, in order to increase the use of
modern ICT in schools and to adapt the formal education
system to the new era. The first challenge is to overcome the
increasing credibility gap between the outcomes of the formal
education system and expectations of the knowledge society
employers. The second challenge is to adjust the knowledge
transfer methods of the formal education systems to the most
common information and knowledge acquisition manners of
today’s youth. Both challenges are addressed in this article.
Possible solutions are provided, discussed and commented
upon.
