After a century of progressive efforts to improve didactic education, ‘Futuristic Education’ needs to be authentic and transformative. Authentic education can create better connections between education and society, but it tends to reflect the world’s reality rather than change it. In contrast, transformative education not only improves the perspectives of authentic pedagogy but aspires to fundamentally alter the life opportunities of students and transform their world. Transformative education is now emerging, bringing significant signs of change. It acknowledges the legacy of past education while designing a better future. This education is an act of imagination for the future of learning, seeking practical ways to implement it in current practices. It is a continuous process, not a fixed destination. Transformative education aims to develop students’ capacity to become competent workers in the knowledge economy, active global citizens, and balanced individuals in a complex society. It fosters social sensitivity and a commitment to the common good, in line with increasingly interconnected social networks. Thus, transformative education plays a crucial role in sustainable development by equipping individuals with the knowledge, skills, and values necessary to address global challenges and promote a more equitable and sustainable future
