Towards the Revolution and Democratization of Education: A Framework to Overcome Challenges and Explore Opportunities through Industry 4.0

Education 4.0 (E4) aims to improve the teaching-learning process and democratize access to quality education by using Industry 4.0 technologies in educational environments. The main objective of this article is to propose a framework containing a package of policies and initiatives for the drivers of society (industry, government, and academia) to develop E4. The framework was elaborated through systematic review based on good practices, challenges, and opportunities of E4, which were systematized considering the technical-scientific literature and the authors' experience. The main scientific contribution of this work is the creation of a new block of knowledge about E4 that expands and at the same time deepens the existing literature and can support new research and foster initiatives on the subject. Its main applied contribution is to increase access to quality education through the development of E4.
