It was billed as a debate on “Productivity in Education”, but the second Education Fast Forward global forum ended with near-consensus on a radical proposition: that, when it comes to maximising the potential of students, schooling as we know it is well past its sell-by date.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The conclusions of the 32 distinguished innovators taking part in the live online debate from 19 locations across six continents, differed only in the degree to which they would change or replace existing structures.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Introducing the event, Promethean\u2019s CEO Jean-Yves Charlier underlined the urgency of the issue: \u201cIt\u2019s obvious the world has profoundly changed with the recession,\u201d he said, \u201cand while governments race ahead to fix problems created in the short term, I think we all agree that education has to be a fundamental pillar for economic growth in future. So this debate about the effectiveness and efficiency of education systems is a very important one.\u201d<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the past perhaps it was OK for education to move slowly\u2026 but the world is changing more quickly than education itself,<\/strong><\/span>\u201d he said. The recession made change all the more crucial \u2013 but at the same time it would be more difficult to convince the decision-makers in government to invest in change: \u201cYet unless we get that magic way forward, people will say we can\u2019t afford it. I\u2019m worried we don\u2019t get to the point where we can convince people this is achievable.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
