There are insufficient resources to continue with the existing educational paradigm. This article
analyses the natural dynamics of educational paradigms and sets out an educational model for the
near future. The research examined basic educational patterns and their current state of development,
and investigated the barriers to improving the quality of education and how they may be overcome.
It offers a criticism of existing educational paradigms and how they have changed over time, and
then constructs proposals for a number of features of a new educational paradigm. This leads to the
formulation of a new educational paradigm for the near future with a number of distinctive features.
At its centre are ideas of transformation ‘gates’ of education and their functional invariants. The
notions set out in the article are intended for developers of educational systems, environments, and
programs for rapidly maturing students and adults. This will enable us to overcome the deficiencies
in current approaches to education, and focus on advanced mastery of the future, in which the
current educational standards are extremely out of date.
