‘’The future belongs to those who are prepare for it’’ Emerson
In 2007 on AIESEC National Conference I have chance to hear Marcus Orlovsky (Bryanston Square Consulting) and his lecture where one part was about education and ‘’Building Schools for the Future’’ – concept how to adapt education system to new changes that happened in the world.
During that lecture I was shocked by fact that looks of classroom from 1864 till now change a little bit.
If we look on another aspect of education system we will see that changes that have been made are not aligned with world today. Still our education system doesn’t know how to prepare young people for a very different world. The world which will have:
- Careers that allows working anywhere
- People working when they like, where they like, how they like
- The value is in the ideas and the team, not the manufacture of product
- People processes are changing to be open and non-hierarchical
- Tolerating, allowing and promoting a mix of ‘’core staff’’, ‘’freelance staff’’ and ‘’partners’’
- Accepting that people have short stay periods and move to and from competitors
We are slowly going in that direction, but still our ‘’schools teach us how to pass exam, not to learn the subject’’.
More about this topic you can read on Nikola’s blog.
At the end I will ask you one question that Marcus said in the movie:
‘’are learning happening in classroom or everywhere?’’
