Abstract: Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the world experienced an unprecedented acceleration in its transition toward a digital environment, leading to profound transformations across numerous sectors, particularly education. The technological advances underpinning Industry 5.0 represent a major turning point, challenging traditional models of economic development. This shift promotes the transition from an industry-based economy to a knowledge-based economy, in which innovation, knowledge, and human capital become the primary drivers of growth and sustainable development. The concept of Education 5.0 has emerged in this context to offer a humanized education centered on the learner, fostering his or her social and emotional development, and based on the use of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things (IoT). This educational model, recommended by organizations such as UNESCO and UNICEF, promotes a holistic, multidimensional approach to learning, aimed at training responsible citizens and workers. This study examines the adoption of Education 5.0 in the context of a developed country, Japan, and a developing country, Zimbabwe, using a comparative approach. This is based on an analytical grid assessing learning performance, learner well-being and the acquisition of work values. By analyzing feedback from these two countries, this study aims to better understand how Education 5.0 can be adapted to different contexts to meet the needs of the knowledge economy and society.
