Government Responsibility and Public Trust: Public schools are entrusted with preparing children for life and work, and when they fail to meet this mandate, students can argue that they were deprived of opportunities to compete in a digital and evolving job market. If governments fund education systems that fail to prepare students for the challenges of IR 4.0, it is clearly a breach of duty.

Failure to Meet Labor Market Demands: The job market in IR 4.0 requires not just technical skills but also adaptability, emotional intelligence, and digital competencies. Schools that do not adequately prepare students for these challenges may leave them unemployable, resulting in economic loss. This failure can be interpreted as a failure of the state to provide quality education, violating the students’ rights to educational resources that meet modern demands.

Economic and Psychological Damages: Graduates would argue that the lack of preparation has led to economic damages, such as limited career opportunities, higher unemployment, and lower income. In some cases, the psychological toll of failing in a hyper-competitive, tech-driven world could also form part of the claim, as emotional distress and mental health challenges stemming from inadequate preparation for the modern world are recognized in legal proceedings.

International Legal Frameworks: Educational reforms are also underpinned by international standards like the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), which emphasize quality education for all. If public schools fail to prepare students for the digital age, they have violated these global standards, further strengthening a case for legal action.

The failure of the public education system to address the mismatch between human evolution and the demands of the digital age can lead to undeserving high basic pay expectations, and contribute to socio-economic problems such as the rise in gig economy workers (e.g., GrabFood riders, Grab car drivers), drug addiction, juvenile delinquency, and disaffected youth.

Education System's Failure to Equip for Modern Demands: Many young people leave school without the necessary skills to thrive in the rapidly evolving, high-tech job market of IR 4.0. Without training in digital literacy, emotional intelligence, critical thinking, and cognitive adaptability, they are ill-prepared for high-skill jobs. As a result, they may turn to low-skill, gig economy jobs that offer immediate, but often unsustainable, income.

Gig workers like Grab riders and drivers typically earn income without long-term job security or benefits, and this kind of work becomes a fallback when higher-paying, more stable jobs are inaccessible due to lack of modern competencies.

Mismatch Leading to Social Issues: This educational gap has led to the rise of disengaged youth who, lacking direction and feeling inadequately prepared for modern economic demands, may fall into delinquency, substance abuse, and other destructive behaviors. When young people feel excluded from the competitive labor market or find themselves trapped in low-skill, high-turnover jobs, they may experience a sense of hopelessness that can foster risky behaviors like drug addiction.

Economic Pressures and Expectations: A poorly designed educational system that fails to bridge the gap between the digital world and young people's abilities can result in unrealistic economic expectations. Some may seek undeserving high basic pay despite lacking the skills to justify such compensation, leading to widespread economic frustration. This further divides society, where certain groups thrive on new technologies, while others struggle with jobs that offer little advancement or growth.

How school fails the children (and naive parents)-Cycle of Disaffection: Juvenile delinquency and lost teenagers are the natural outgrowths of an education system that is disconnected from modern realities. Without proper guidance on ethical behavior, emotional intelligence, and career adaptability, these youth often fail to find purpose or connection to societal progress, falling into cycles of social alienation and bad habits.

Gaji Tinggi Yang Tak halal: A mismatch between educational preparation and the demands of the modern economy leads to skewed expectations regarding basic pay. Young people may expect wages disproportionate to their skills or job role due to a sense of entitlement or lack of understanding of the market economy. This entitlement feeds into broader societal dissatisfaction and often leads to disillusionment when gig economy jobs do not meet these expectations.
