Education has played an important role promoting well-being and the sustainable development of our society. But what will be the role and responsibility of education in a changing world? Is there a need for formal education or even a physical place called school in the future? Today, information is everywhere, accessible to everyone and anyone can modify it—you can learn new skills through the web and the need for formal education as it has been traditionally practiced has diminished. Schools are not isolated institutions; their future growth and prospect are strongly connected to societal development trends and to education policy. And at the same time, the school itself can bring about change and influence future development trends. Our actions for tomorrow are never objective and are affecting how the future society will be. This chapter analyses the forces affecting change in schools to understand how they are changing. Diversification of populations in schools is reviewed through the lens of Helsinki′s public schools to better understand issues of identity at the individual and communal level.
