as they have not learnt the right data.


[The study conducted by the
Tony Blair Institute for Global Change (TBI) has
recommended that the education system
in England be radically changed so that
students can thrive in a work environment
that is becoming increasingly shaped by
automation and artificial intelligence.

The current educational landscape
in England relies too heavily on
passive forms of learning focused
on direct instruction and memorising
and needs more emphasis on
the so-called four Cs – critical thinking, creativity,
communication and collaborative problem-solving,
the organisation said.]

[Recommending replacing the exams system
with new qualifications that involve
regular assessment between 16 and 18 years old,
the report suggested that a series
of low-stakes assessments for pupils at the
end of secondary schooling
could “help inform pupil choice and
hold schools to account”.

Writing in the Daily Telegraph, Sir Tony Blair said
of the current system: “While there is a place
for these sorts of exams, we cannot rely on
them alone: they only measure certain skills,
they do not always do this accurately, and
they invite narrow teaching styles aimed
at passing tests rather than building other key aptitudes.]





Yes Teach them Economics
the blighters can use.

I did three A Levels: English Lit (A), Law (B) and Sociology (B).

Never needed them. All the jobs I've had never needed those sort of qualifications.:joker:

This is what they were debating
