Band ~8 Sample:

Introduction:

It is claimed that the current teacher-student classroom system will disappear by 2050. While I acknowledge that education is undergoing significant transformations, I disagree that the traditional model of education will become entirely obsolete.

Main Body 1:

It is true that the internet has reshaped the way people learn. Unlike before when teachers and professors were the major sources of knowledge for students, the internet made information accessible through online sources, leading to a paradigm shift in most people’s preferences toward online ways of gaining knowledge. Particularly in higher educational institutions, many learners already opt for digital platforms such as Udemy, detailed YouTube tutorials, free-of-charge AI tools such as ChatGPT, all of which provide a faster, comfortable, and more flexible learning experience for many. Therefore, there is a high likelihood of these methods becoming dominant in many aspects of education by 2050.

Main Body 2:

Nevertheless, I would argue that the traditional learning system will not disappear completely over the ensuing 25 years. Despite global ditigilization, not everyone can access the internet or afford such tools as phones, tablets, laptops, or computers to be able to use online sources of knowledge. African countries, for example, have large proportions of the population that lack internet access largely due to poverty, indicating that the chance of everyone having internet access is low. Thus, the traditional system is likely to remain necessary until such inequalities are addressed.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, education will, of course, evolve and incorporate more technological tools by the year 2050. I, however, think that the teacher-student classroom model will not vanish entirely.
