Education is the cornerstone of human progress, driving economic development, social transformation, and innovation. As we transition into the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the need for a dynamic and technology-driven education system has become more evident than ever. Education 4.0 represents this paradigm shift, integrating cutting-edge technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, the Internet of Things (IoT), and cloud computing into learning environments. It fosters personalized learning, enhances accessibility, and equips students with the skills required for the digital economy.

This book, Education 4.0: Driving Innovation for SDG 9 – Screen to Skill Set, explores the transformative role of modern education in fostering sustainable development. It highlights the crucial link between Education 4.0 and Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 9, which emphasizes industry, innovation, and infrastructure. The integration of smart education technologies not only bridges the digital divide but also prepares learners to thrive in a rapidly evolving job market.

Through this work, we aim to provide insights into the key components of Education 4.0, including curriculum redesign, digital inclusion policies, AI-driven learning, cybersecurity awareness, and emerging technologies. The book also discusses strategies for infrastructure development, teacher training, and the implementation of industry-aligned skill-building programs. By addressing both challenges and opportunities, it offers a roadmap for policymakers, educators, and learners to navigate the future of education effectively.

 In an era where adaptability, creativity, and digital literacy define success, it is imperative to reimagine education to meet the demands of the 21st century. We hope this book serves as a valuable resource in shaping an education system that is inclusive, future-ready, and capable of driving innovation on a global scale..
