Artificial general intelligence (AGI) has gained global recognition as a future technology due to the emergence of breakthrough large language models and chatbots such as GPT-4 and ChatGPT, respectively. AGI aims to replicate human intelligence through computer systems, which is one of the critical technologies having the potential to revolutionize the field of education. Compared to conventional AI models, typically designed for a limited range of tasks, demand significant amounts of domain-specific data for training and may not always consider intricate interpersonal dynamics in education. AGI, driven by the recent large pre-trained models, represents a significant leap in the capability of machines to perform tasks that require human-level intelligence, such as reasoning, problem-solving, decision-making, and even understanding human emotions and social interactions. This work reviews AGI's key concepts, capabilities, scope, and potential within future education, including setting educational goals, designing pedagogy and curriculum, and performing assessments. We also provide rich discussions over various ethical issues in education faced by AGI and how AGI will affect human educators. The development of AGI necessitates interdisciplinary collaborations between educators and AI engineers to advance research and application efforts.
