We live in a world driven by automation.
They call it the 4th industrial revolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Education system needs a transformation.
Schools want to teach empathy & collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
China and Japan, once leaders in memorisation,
Have now reversed this to skills in innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We live in a knowledge economy with AI adoption & data proliferation.
The irony is that we need more than knowledge in this age of digital domination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
OECD, Nesta and Durham Commission
Are calling for creativity & critical thinking in education. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s not teach our kids to compete with computerisation,
As we\u2019ll fail current & future generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
England is the leader in rote-learning;
Finland has the best outcomes & teaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To thrive, you need competence and confidence;
When you fail, you need resilience and perseverance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Canada, Singapore and Australia are all leading with new pedagogy
It\u2019s not enough to have classrooms filled with cool Technology. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What matters is quality teaching,
And personalising learning,
And students engaging,
In life-long learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To make the most of our human capacity,
Young people need Skills and opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Exam results alone won\u2019t crack social-mobility;
They talk about GDP growth & productivity,
But to future-proof our prosperity,
Give priority to HUMANity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
