Future of School Education
How will schools change in the next 10 years?
How should schools change to stay relevant?
The pace of change in the world today seems to be increasing all the time. The skills children will need in the future will be radically different to those we needed ten years ago. In such a scenario, what should schools focus on to ensure that children are prepared for an unknowable and uncertain future?
In this webinar, Ryan talks to Anand and Geetanjali to take a peek into the future to try and predict what schools could look like. Or even what schools should look like to stay relevant.
Dr Anand Lakshmanan is Founder and CEO of sirpi.io, a data science and visualization company. He was previously at Apple and is a holder of 7 patents. He teaches data science and has a keen interest in the future of education.
Geetanjali Shrivastava is co-founder of www.adaptiv.me, an AI company focused on the future of work. She is also a french language teacher and writer. She has spent a lot of time researching the gig economy and the opportunities it has to offer.
A number of trends will have significant impact on jobs, and consequently on education. Artificial intelligence is the one most often talked about. But the pandemic has shown that trends like remote working, the uncertainty in the economy and the move towards distributed models of working will change the career landscape in ways we can't even imagine.
In this session, we will talk about the following:
key skills for the future
the changing nature of life and work
the rise of the entrepreneur, freelancer and gig worker
how to prepare children for an unknown future
