Traditional Education can lack relevence to learners in that there is a focus on the past and a lack of focus on current 21st century competencies (Kim, 2016). 

In traditional education we still see the same classroom set-up with the same textbooks and lessons being used. These tend to focus on memorization and there is a significant lack in creative and student centered learning. The content is not applicable or relevant to current learners and the skills they will need and this can cause disengagement and a lack of retention. 

Increased advancements in technology and globalization highlights the importance of preparing students for the future rather than just equipping them with knowledge from the past. 

Many students in school will end up with jobs that don't even exist yet (ChimpVine, 2023). With traditional education focusing on rote learning and memorization or a focus on the past there is questions on if we are providing students with a well rounded education that prepares them for the future. A focus on traditional learning methods is no longer sufficient, and a more holistic approach that focuses on problem solving, creativity and critical thinking is needed to provide essential skills for success in an ever-changing world. 

Traditional education can be strict and inflexible with set curriculums and schedules. This may restrict educators from being able to personalize education for learners. 

This one size fits all approach can't take into account individual differences in learning styles, abilities, and pace. Inflexible learning environments can limit students' ability to fully engage with the material and can lead to boredom, disinterest, and disengagement (Kim, 2016).

With technology rapidly changing it is essential that learners be exposed to technology in their education to help them build important skills that will be used in and outside of their schooling. It has been shown that students who have access to technology in the classroom are better equipped to succeed in a fast-paced and technology-driven world (Kim, 2016).

It is not uncommon to see little to no technology used in traditional classrooms,. This may lead to a gap in the student's knowledge and skills, making it difficult for them to succeed in an increasingly digital world.
