Our JS students will be starting their first career in the decade of 2030: what type of career will that be and what skills will be needed?
Today we began by considering that our Junior School students will be starting their first career in the decade of 2030 and asking the questions: what type of career will that be and what skills will be needed? To consider these questions we reviewed the following two videos:
Sugata Mitra - in the first four minutes of his talk explains his understanding of why schools are designed the way they are.
Sir Ken Robinson - in his RSA animate talk Sir Ken uses the factory model as a way describe how schools currently function.
We considered whether we agree with these suggestions and questions were raised such as:
• What will our children need in the future?
• Do universities need to change to accommodate these changes?
• Why do we test for normal and average?
• Will we need to go to university in the future?
• What are employers actually looking for in graduates?
• What is the purpose of school?
• Do you need to go to school to learn?
We will continue this discussion next week with our next topic titled: How do we prepare our children for their future?
