Valerie Hannon is a global thought leader, inspiring systems to re-think what ‘success’ will mean in the 21st Century, and the implications for education. In her talk, she looks at key trajectories for our future in the next 30 years. Hannon argues that this gives us a clear, urgent and inspiring agenda for reconsidering the very purpose of schools, and therefore the nature of schooling: curricula, pedagogy, and what counts as success. This has become even more urgent and relevant in the context of COVID19, when many are questioning what schools are for, as technology provides viable alternatives. In this presentation, she argues that schools are more essential than ever – but only if fundamentally redesigned.
