As the world entered the 21st century, the era of knowledge revolution 5.0 was reached. The speed of knowledge is rapidly progressing. Human life is changing at a fast pace with the Industrial Revolution 4.0, its 5G and AI, that symbolizes the knowledge revolution. At present times, the national competitiveness of each country depends on the level of knowledge accumulation. That's where the importance of education is greater than ever. The most crucial aspect in the era of knowledge revolution 5.0 is computer coding education and convergence education (STEAM). The Republic of Korea and other advanced countries have already introduced this education, have applied it to public education, and are conducting various research projects for innovative future education. In addition, in Korea a 4th Industrial Revolution Committee was newly established as an organization directly under the President to present a response and vision for the arrival of the Industrial Revolution 4.0, and to develop and utilize 5G and AI in various fields including education. The committee is presenting and preparing for the future. In particular, governments, corporations, and schools are jointly investing in the development of future schools for 5G and AI. In this paper, I am going to look into how Korean education has changed, the different changes that are pursued in the IR 4.0. Also, I will explore future possibilities by looking into the smart future education utilizing the development of computer advanced technologies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
