TOWARDS A TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY EDUCATION SYSTEM!

"The crisis in our economy and education system is getting more acute by the day. The Government’s current strategy is to address these twenty-first century skills shortages using a curriculum and pedagogy from the late nineteenth century." 

KENNETH BAKER

Chair of the Edge Foundation

In this powerful report, Edge argues that the current focus on a narrow ‘knowledge-rich’ curriculum is squeezing out the very subjects that would help our children and young people thrive and succeed! It stresses that employers are looking for young people leaving the education system to have a broad range of experience; well-rounded individuals with the interpersonal skills, resilience and problem-solving abilities that will help every organisation to succeed. The publication contains some wonderful case studies and examples where we can do things differently and achieve better outcomes!!
