This is quite an interesting one!
While Generation Alpha is definitely the most tech-savvy and technology-infused generation and will therefore beat any previous generation when it comes to knowledge related to this field, there have been some interesting developments in recent years.
Generally, Gen Z and Gen Alpha were on the verge of surpassing the millennials in their levels of education. However, the recent pandemic has put a dramatic dent in the level of current students.
There is a wide range of reasons behind this, of course.
First of all, a lot of educational content simply wasn't readily available for students to seamlessly blend from in-classroom learning to 100% e-learning from home. Therefore, there is quite a bit of backlog in terms of content that should have been taught already.
Secondly, the pandemic caused a lot of emotional and mental stress on many people, especially young students who heavily depend on their daily social interactions as part of their learning requirements. Feelings of isolation and emotional distress due to the fear of the pandemic lead to many pupils having difficulties when learning.
A lot of learning material simply was never taught, because of illness among teachers or a general shortage of educators.
All of the above, among several other reasons, are responsible for the millennial generation currently being the most educated generation of students.
