7 The Leader Organises, inspires and motivates a team or a taskforce, distributing responsibilities into different types of workforces. Offers means to manipulate information and human interactions.

8 The Leader 20% engineering time and interdisciplinary studies become part of job descriptions Dispersed workforces – organised like ant colonies Big data analysis and literacy becomes inherent to the human decision making process Business management concentrate different spheres in physically disconnected groups

9 The Penpusher Manipulates the information space, organising the order of priorities that enable a steady and natural flow inside all the forms of the office space.

10 The Penpusher Embedded learning becomes a fundamental skill adapted for business profiles across the board Top-end creativity becomes invaluable Gaming points and scores are used to track progress Programming proficiency becomes increasingly important when dealing with machines and Artificial Intelligence

11 The Creative Nomad Generates ideas, clarifies the complex, connects concepts and explores the boundaries created by technology – like those of space and time.

12 The Creative Nomad The DIY economy caters to independent and self- sustaining businesses The human energy saved through automation is used to boost intellect and creativity Technology-enhanced freelance work begins building an economy where skills are divided between parallel projects and different space- times The expansion of online interactions and content creation results in an always-updated CV (beyond the owner’s control)

13 The Labourer Physically manipulates material, for example on the factory floor, but can also remotely and instantly interact with complex infrastructure dealing with data analysis.

14 The Labourer Screen literacy becomes a life skill for all workers, while the labourer needs to particularly adapt to this change Offline and online interactions become intermodal, merging the physical space with the information layer generated by each business Data analysis opens new paths of information interpretation Robot programming becomes an inherent skill to cope with the changing nature of automation and infrastructure

16 What Does Not work League tables Homogenous classrooms Teacher-dominated instruction A “one size fits all” curriculum and pedagogy Impersonal teaching Restrictive post-school pathways and options

17 What are we doing right now? Academic rigour (IB, IGCSE) Curriculum expansion (Design Tech., languages) Social, Emotional and Physical growth (extra- curricular programme) – the Whole Person Technological integration and learning applications - 1:1 computing, Digital Citizenship, Media…. Differentiation and individual student pathways Student leadership and engagement Environmental projects (Global Issues Network…) Highest calibre teachers and further training Facilities designed and constructed for purpose

18 Where next? - Change Themes 1.Alternative models of widely affordable higher education 2.A rise in Liberal Arts education – technology and entrepreneurship 3.Evolution of engineering education 4.Demand for community colleges and vocational education 5.Changes in K-12 education – from “sage on the stage” to “guide on the side”

19 Where next? - Change Themes 6. Vastly expanded broadband penetration 7.Changing dynamics of media consumption 8.Expansion of education businesses 9.Teaching of entrepreneurship education and incubation 10.Proliferation of internships

20 The 21 st Century Graduate  Resilient  Flexible  Open minded  Self-aware  Self confident  Courageous  Creative  Innovative  Socially and environmentally responsive and responsible
