The main premis has been rehearsed many times: we live in a world that is changing so rapidly that today’s children and young people need to be prepared to undertake jobs that currently don’t exist using technologies that have not yet been invented.
The ten ideas put forward in the report range from changing the organisation of the school day and the school classroom, to actively using smart phones to engage pupils in learning and working with the whole family not just children.
A key focus is on encouraging pupils to become teachers and teachers to become learners and on listening to and acting on the voice of young people.
The report is well worth a read and should not be dismissed as impracticable and unachievable. There are the germs of some great ideas here. Crucially, they need the act of faith that acknowledges the challenge and recognises that these could be potential solutions.
