Education stands at the brink of profound transformation, propelled by swift advances in technology, shifting societal demands, and significant global challenges. Key among these shifts is the escalating importance of mental health in educational contexts, leading to the implementation of detailed support frameworks, bespoke interventions, and educator-specific training designed to nurture psychological well-being within learning spaces. Concurrently, the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education promises highly personalized learning experiences but brings to light serious ethical concerns regarding data privacy and equity. These issues must be navigated with great care. Furthermore, the surge in misinformation highlights the critical need for enhanced narrative literacy, preparing students with vital analytical skills to decipher complex information settings. These transformative trends collectively push for more flexible and inclusive educational approaches that respond sensitively to varied learning needs.

This Research Topic aims to deeply explore the pivotal elements that will define the future of education. It specifically focuses on the synergies and challenges at the intersections of mental health, AI utilization, and the cultivation of narrative literacy. Through this inquiry, the collection intends to reveal cutting-edge methods and actionable insights that could significantly improve educational practices and outcomes.

To further our understanding in these areas, we welcome contributions in the form of original research, review articles, commentaries, and perspectives from diverse fields such as education, psychology, technology, and the social sciences. Our goal is to challenge existing educational frameworks and introduce advanced strategies that anticipate future learning needs:

- Evaluating the effectiveness of mental health programs in schools
- Ethical dimensions of AI in educational settings
- Developing critical skills to combat misinformation through narrative literacy
- Cross-disciplinary approaches to enhancing educational inclusivity and adaptability

These topics are pivotal for crafting an education system that is both innovative and responsive to the needs of all learners.
