    A core message of "The Future of Joyful Learning" is the exciting evolution of education in this digital era. Classrooms are transforming, with online assignments, learning platforms, and interactive whiteboards becoming everyday tools. We vividly recall how the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated this transformation, making remote learning a global reality. For Generation Alpha, education must be flexible, deeply integrated with technology, and tailored to individual needs. It's about moving beyond old methods and embracing immersive tools like virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and AI-powered learning systems. We also strongly emphasize the vital role of gamification and play-based learning in making education captivating and effective for these young minds, understanding that when game elements are thoughtfully woven in, it can dramatically boost their motivation and cognitive abilities

    Learning for Generation Alpha in the Light of Approaching Sustainable Goals
    (HN 22 Kanchan Nagar Kalyanpur Lucknow UP, 2025) Saba Parveen
    As the world accelerates toward the 2030 deadline for achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the educational needs and capacities of Generation Alpha—children born from 2010 onward—have become increasingly significant. This review chapter explores how contemporary education systems can adapt to meet the learning demands of this digitally native generation while aligning with global sustainability objectives. It examines the intersection of emerging pedagogies, technological integration, and sustainability education, emphasizing the importance of equipping young learners with critical thinking, ecological literacy, and global citizenship skills. The chapter synthesizes current research on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), innovative teaching methodologies, and the socio-emotional needs of Generation Alpha in a rapidly changing world. It also highlights the role of educators, policymakers, and digital tools in fostering a future-ready learning environment. Ultimately, this chapter argues that a re-imagined, inclusive, and forward-thinking education system is essential not only for the personal growth of Generation Alpha but also for the collective pursuit of a more just, resilient, and sustainable global society.
