Abstract

The sands of education are constantly shifting, and in order to stay significant, higher educational institutions (HEIs) need to reinvent themselves in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. With high global unemployment rates of fresh graduates and internal institutional challenges, future conscious HEIs understand the importance of the need to redesigned curriculum, content, and assessments to prepare graduates for employment. Through a detailed evaluation of the newly developed Taylor's curriculum framework (TCF), this chapter will elaborate on the core purposes of this curriculum framework and the governing principles in redesigning a curriculum that focuses on the 21st century needs. By shifting the focus from teaching to learning and by redirecting the focus of assessment from knowledge base to skills base, HEI graduates will be equipped meet the needs of industry, the Fourth Industrial Age and beyond.
