Unlearning, a concept once relegated to the margins of educational theory and neuroscience, is taking center stage in 2025 as new research urges individuals and institutions to rethink how knowledge is acquired, updated, and, crucially, discarded. As global education systems and workforces grapple with fast-evolving information landscapes, being able to let go of outdated ideas is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity for personal growth and organizational innovation (Psychology Today; WDHB).
