Education in the 21st century is defined by an interconnected relation between various subject areas. The current practice encourages the application of research from different disciplines. Teachers need to study the program to define methods or directions in which specific topics can be easily connected to improve the learning environment of students.

Education in the 21st century makes good use of existing information and digital technologies or ICT (e.g. computers and the Internet) and interactive (e.g. audio and video-based instruction) to enhance teaching and learning practices. Day-to-day classroom tasks – writing reports, creating digital presentations, and sharing or exchange information between teachers and students online – demand different levels of multimedia literacy. This crucial quality implies that schools may need to procure and utilize computers and different interactive devices to enhance learning to the highest degree possible. Education is often required for teachers-users as part of a broader "learning program."

Education in the 21st century seeks to create global citizens by uncovering students to the issues of the region and other nations. They are empowered to react and reply to concerns as part of their position as global citizens. This crucial feature indicates that schools ought to incorporate emerging world issues/concerns, such as tolerance and appreciation for cultural identity, climate change, and global climate change, in classroom discussions.

Education in the 21st century adheres to the idea that learning should not just happen in school except through one's academic years. Training will take place anytime, at any moment, irrespective of background. This ensures that educators will make it easy for students to learn awareness, talents, behaviors, and beliefs that go far beyond academics. Learning will take place not just for the intention of completing the tests, but also for the application of skills to real-life circumstances. The lessons will be structured in such a way that students can continue to learn beyond the boundaries of the classroom.
