Based on this article, we can discuss a future in which man and the surrounding reality will depend on the rapidly-developing digitalization. This phenomenon may lead to a fading of the known world and the transition to a new one defined by technologies based on the flow of data and its analysis. However, knowledge will still remain important for such a change.

Through the knowledge presented in the article, it can be concluded that the digitalization of the education system and labour market means revolutionary changes, incomparable with the objectives and scope of the existing measures.

In light of the content contained in this article, in the context of demographic change and globalization, there can be no doubt that education responding to contemporary challenges is a guarantee of promoting knowledge and profiling mobile and adaptive qualified staff characterized by having a specific level of knowledge, unique skills and highly developed qualifications. It is widely recognized that knowledge is the decisive factor in competitive advantage. The dynamics of changes taking place are conditioned by the resource and innovation of people’s knowledge, quality of work, education and training, the ability to think quickly and be innovative and implement new solutions in the process of production, distribution and services. The authors of the article justify why education should be seen as a value in all social and individual interactions, especially in a situation of economic change, globalization and demographic transition. It should refer to the inspiration of change, but also to the stabilization of people’s situations. Learning and education is therefore a modern value. Hence, it is important to perceive the strength and value of education in every social situation.
