The new proposed form of education involves the application of a non-physical classroom, immersed in a creative and constant flux of complexity and trans-disciplinary processes; this is the social classroom born of the Trans-complex Educational Theory in response to the pandemic and post- pandemic phase of COVID-19. This case study will focus on the challenges to institutions, teachers and students, and relates to the struggle with acquiring new and complex skills. These struggles can be addressed using ‘R3 Education’ which promotes ‘Reinvention’, ‘Realignment’ and ‘Resilience’. The emergence of a responsive approach to curriculum design is now here - the trans-complex curriculum.enPandemicCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)CurriculumPsychological resilienceResilience (materials science)Adaptation (eye)2019-20 coronavirus outbreakSociologySevere acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)Pedagogyarticle
