The challenge

Closing the dangerous gap

The million $ questions

- Why schools are not changing as the rest of the world is ?

- How come teachers are still teaching like they did 150 years ago?

- Do we need a teacher in the AG (After Google) era ?

- What should be the job description of the 'new age' teacher?

- Can schools prepare the students to a world that will change five times over before the students graduate?

- Can the school provide students skills for jobs and professions that have not been invented yet?

- Can you really teach how to be a creative and innovative thinker?

- Is change possible ?

Unfortunately we are:

Educating today the children of tomorrow to a world of yesterday..

Predicting the future of education

Future education will not take place in a 4 wall classroom detached from the real world.

It will happen either when the school will move outside to the 'real world' or when the world will enter into the school.

Future education is going to focus on skills, habits and tools rather than on information and data.

Class education is going to become similar to sports education. Teachers are going to become coaches.
