Abstract

The implementation of new information technologies is considered one of the most important problems at the beginning of this century. This enterprise involves the introduction of computers and gadgets into education and requires the use of modern methods and techniques. In both developed and developing countries, young people are increasingly dependent on technology. Employers are beginning to demand new competencies in order to increase competitiveness in a global market. Entrepreneurial skills are considered key competencies, and entrepreneurship education prepares people to be responsible and enterprising people. Intercultural education is the answer to cultural diversity, in a connected and multicultural world. All the contents of education are important, but we believe that the emphasis should fall on these three dimensions: digital education, entrepreneurship education and intercultural education. Meant to observe, the present research aims to identify the main directions in the field of education, to present the ways of adapting to the new social conditions and to highlight the difficulties encountered in this endeavour. The purpose of this study is to highlight the main aspects of education that are specific for the beginning of the 21st century. The reform of education requires more than a list of competencies. It requires a radiography of the problems faced by education, a listing of its vulnerabilities and, depending on the specific of the current society, establishing certain clear directions of action.
