This article critically examines the transformations in the world of work driven by digitalization and their impacts on formal education. It argues that schools, still structured under the industrial paradigm, are unable to meet the demands of the New Digital Economy, which values creativity, adaptability, collaboration, and lifelong learning. The research adopts a theoretical-analytical approach based on an interdisciplinary literature review, drawing on economics, sociology, philosophy, and education, complemented by secondary data from international organizations. The study highlights the crisis of the industrial educational model and proposes the construction of a new educational and social ethos, centered on the fusion of work and learning (Learning & Working Fusion), digital inclusion, and critical and continuous education. The article concludes that only the integration of robust public policies, pedagogical innovation, and teacher training can align education, work, and citizenship with the demands of the digital society.
