This paper describes the paradigm and practices of educational “Leapfrogging.” Leapfrog Principles and Practices are introduced and explained as components of “Education 3.0,” or knowledge-producing education, and “Education 4.0,” or innovation-producing education. Examples are provided of human capital enhancements relevant to knowledge production and innovation applications of knowledge. The author contends that the first nations to Leapfrog into local expressions of Education 3.0 and 4.0, support them with advanced technologies, and apply them in early childhood through tertiary and adult education, will become bellwether human capital development leaders among 21st creative economies of the 21st Century.
