Education is not merely changing.

It is coming to an end.

For over two centuries,

school-based education has served as the foundation of modern society,

imparting knowledge, cultivating talent, and upholding the social order.

However, with the advent of AI (artificial intelligence),

the very system of education

is reaching the end of its historical role.

This book does not discuss

"how AI will change education."

Instead, it poses a completely new question:

"How will humanity grow in the post-education era?"

The author proposes a new civilizational model

to replace the school-centric society:

the "Human Growth Center."

In this model, a new kind of society emerges where:

・AI serves as the foundation for learning rather than as a teacher

・Growth, not exams, is the metric for evaluation

・One's life path is not determined by birth, nationality, or economic disparity

・Humans continue to learn throughout their lives

Drawing on a wide range of perspectives-including

comparisons between East Asian and Western educational systems,

the AI ​​revolution,

democracy,

civilizational theory,

and the economics of manufacturing-

this book envisions the world that lies beyond education.
