A trend implies a particular tendency or a movement or even a bias towards a certain issue. For instance following colonization, Science as taught in the western world and the English language became integral parts of the school curriculum in India. Later on these changes developed into certain major trends. Thus, trends in education appear, may become popular, may stay or even disappear. This is because the concept of 'education' is dynamic and its form changes with the changes in the societal philosophy. Indian society too is undergoing transitions in some areas. As a result today there is an increasing presence of the private sector in many areas including education. The ongoing phenomenon of globalization too has a significant impact on the Indian society and in turn on the educational scenario. There is another new thought process, which is leading to the realization that development has to be sustained. Bringing about sustainable development is one of the Millennium Development Goals of the United Nations and we know that education is the key to attain it. Apart from privatization, globalization and education for sustainable development, there are many new trends in education such as technology mediated education, lifelong education, distance education, inclusive education, education for peace, etc. and all these trends are the consequences of the contemporary thoughts and practices. We see that new developments in the society lead to new demands on the educational system that are reflected in the new trends. Therefore, it can be said that the genesis of a particular trend is in a contemporary social issue.

Privatization, Contemporary, Technology, Liberalization and Globalization.
