Abstract Education 5.0 represents a transformative shift in higher education by foregrounding a human-centered approach to technological advancement. Moving beyond earlier paradigms that emphasized digitalization and automation, Education 5.0 seeks to harmonize advanced technologies with ethical values, social responsibility, sustainability, and inclusivity. This paper offers a critical examination of Education 5.0 frameworks in higher education, focusing on the ways artificial intelligence, machine learning, and digital platforms are employed not merely to improve academic efficiency but to cultivate creativity, emotional intelligence, and moral reasoning among learners. Drawing on an analysis of contemporary practices, policy directions, and institutional initiatives, the study evaluates how effectively Education 5.0 responds to the evolving demands of Industry 5.0 and broader societal expectations. Particular attention is devoted to implementation challenges, such as persistent inequities in access, digital literacy disparities, and concerns regarding the potential erosion of human agency through excessive technologization. The analysis argues that the effectiveness of Education 5.0 depends on its capacity to foster a holistic educational ecosystem in which technology functions as a catalyst for human development rather than a substitute for it. The study ultimately emphasizes the need to reconceptualize higher education as a domain where technological innovation and human values are integrated in a mutually reinforcing manner.
