At this time, “trend” is a buzzword for everyone. In daily life, we often hear about fashion trends, economic trends, social trends, and so on. Education is a word derived from the Latin word educere, educatum, and educare which expresses the meaning of something to learn, to know, and to lead out.

A trend can be seen as a shift within a system (educational system) that may possibly influence the way the system operates. These could be new teaching methods, changes in research and curriculum development, and attitudes/behaviour of staff and students in the school system. Educational trends may be threats, challenges, opportunities, innovations, or initiatives that bring about social, economical, political and cultural development in the society.

Education is not an exception to that flow. According to Oxford Learners’ Dictionary, the direction of change or development of a situation is called a trend. Thus, trends in education are teaching and learning methods being highly applicable and bringing great value to people.
