In the Tailored Learning, Tailored Life scenario we find that technology has changed significantly the way education is delivered and the way that children learn. Governments no longer control the schooling or education system, but children do not lead the learning process themselves. Their learning is highly individualised and tailored to their specific circumstances and interests. The tailored learning content is predominantly developed by parents and private tutors or mentors. We witness an increasing role of the private sector in contributing to educational content, while the government's influence and contribution is greatly reduced. | In the Tailored Learning, Tailored Life scenario we find that technology has changed significantly the way education is delivered and the way that children learn.

Schooling still continued in the traditional way in many of the previous highly regarded schools. Parents, concerned about the sustainability of the whole system that brought about the adverse situation, wanted to have a bigger say in the quality, content and direction of the education their children received. Together with the teachers they started defining and developing customized educational plans for their children. These educational plans took on an ever increasing specialization, where children at a very young age had their education tailored to specified directions.
