Of course. knowledge is vital to our future. I am just saying that we need to rethink the kind of skills which we have traditionally (and for very good reasons) promoted in education in the past, to bring them into line with the realities of the world that students will be working in between now and 2050.
This guy so reminds me of Gerald Ratner. Google him if you don't know the story. It's been a year since the last comment on here, has he gone the way of GR already ?
Thought-provoking, but I wonder whether this is not too narrow a vision. From the point of view of the world of business, this seems spot-on. What about education to build up character, reflection, etc.? I'd be interested in your response. I'm giving a presentation to the sixth form college I work at on developing the use of technology in teaching and learning. Thanks for uploading.
@CharlieBBoy12345 Building character through education, I don't think so. Character is the will to live morally, but morality is a function of the body and your species. Morality is specie's specific. All parents are frustrated that they can't impart their experiences to their children. They all offer their advice, but children on balance, ignore it. The only thing worse is those few who follow it.(lol) Some things we learn on our own through the real school, "School of Hard Knocks."

Yes I agree, as you will see if you watch the rest of the presentation to NAIS. Character is everything.

Sorry, you're right. I posted this before I'd watched the rest of the presentation. I found it really interesting as a whole. Cheers.
