Abstract
This chapter explores the opportunities and challenges that the metaverse could bring to education. It begins with an overview of the impact of the digital revolution on education and the imminent move from Web 2.0 to Web 3.0 technologies. It explores how the metaverse will influence innovative approaches to educational planning, pedagogy, teacher training, and student assessment. It interrogates the notion of quality access and the inherent changes that a built-out metaverse could bring to traditional educational delivery. These changes include a keener focus on students' psycho-social needs in a new, immersive, virtual environment. Higher-order digital competencies and the digital soul are advanced as important corollaries for the development of a sound digital identity that is required to meet the demands of life in the metaverse. It concludes with critical considerations for the development of policy to safeguard students and promote the maximization of learning in this new civilization.
