Learning is no longer a singular event, but rather an ongoing project to keep yourself updated with the latest skills and knowledge.
“60% of the best jobs in the next ten years haven’t been invented yet.”
This quote from futurist Thomas Frey really encapsulates the core of the discussion about the future of education. In a world that's changing faster than ever, mainstream educational practices are not sufficient to prepare students for the future. Just think about how much has changed in the past 10 years alone. As Thomas Friedman says in The World is Flat: “Remember, in 2005: “Facebook didn’t exist for most people, Twitter was still a sound, 4G was a parking space, and ‘Skype’ was a typo.” Learning is no longer a singular event, but rather an ongoing project to keep yourself updated with the latest skills and knowledge.
