Today's forum was another very well attended discussion about what type of future our children will face. We began by looking at the Did You Know video from 10 years ago, which shares the exponential change that we are experiencing.
The discussion then explored concerns such as the fact that a four year technical degree is outdated by the time students graduate. So what are the implications of all this rapid change? Many think tanks and leading educators believe its by focusing on 21st century skills that will help our children cope with this rapid change. Skills such as collaboration, communication, critical thinking, creativity, character development, citizenship and more are essential for success in the future. What does this mean for schools and future of education? How do we decide what to spend our time learning since the hours in the school day are finite. We will have to prioritise what is most important. Please join us on February 1st as we explore The Purpose of School: What is worth learning?
