Modern education faces persistent challenges, including disengagement, inequitable access to learning resources, and the lack of personalized instruction, particularly in virtual environments. In this perspective, we envision a transformative Metaverse classroom model, Multi-layered Immersive Learning Environment (Meta-MILE) address these critical issues. The Meta-MILE framework integrates essential components such as immersive infrastructure, interactions, social collaboration, advanced assessment techniques enhance student engagement inclusivity. By leveraging three-dimensional (3D) environments, artificial intelligence (AI)-driven personalization, gamified pathways, scenario-based evaluations, model offers tailored experiences that traditional classrooms often struggle achieve. Acknowledging potential challenges accessibility, infrastructure demands, data security, study proposed practical strategies ensure equitable safe interactions within Metaverse. Empirical findings from our pilot experiment demonstrated framework’s effectiveness improving skill acquisition, with broader implications for educational policy competency-based, experiential approaches. Looking ahead, advocate ongoing research validate long-term outcomes technological advancements make more accessible secure. Our perspective underscores shaping inclusive, future-ready environments capable meeting diverse needs learners worldwide.
