More of the same is simply not enough if we wish to create a better system and a better future. We need a much tighter narrative link between education and the wider world. Further, it’s time to find the untapped human potential in all of us.\n\nIn this episode, I recap the conversations we’ve had over the past months and share my 10 provocations for the future. \n\nThe crucial questions to consider in future-focused education policy:\nHow do we remove education from the fragility of political control?\nHow do we broaden the voices that help define the future developments in education?\nHow can we move away from the restraints of trying to develop a new education system when the existing outcomes are always the focus?\nHave we spent too long debating how our schools should be managed, rather than how they should be led?\nHow do we move away from the belief that schools improve by primarily focusing on industrial efficiency models?\nDo we not need to learn far more from how young children learn and think? To devise systems that are more bottom up than top down?\nIs it not time to move beyond the misinformed debate of “skills vs. knowledge?”\nIf it takes a village to raise a child–and I firmly believe it does–then how do we do it?\nHow do we recruit and train the right people to lead our education system?\nWhat is the place of technology?\nThanks for joining The Learning Bridge journey this season!
