    10 Provocations for Future-Focused Education Policy

    At the conclusion of The Learning Bridge's first season, I’ve reflected on the many key learnings we’ve uncovered. More of the same is simply not enough if we wish to create a better system and a better future. We need a much tighter narrative link between education and the wider world. Further, it’s time to find the untapped human potential in all of us. In this episode, I recap the conversations we’ve had over the past months and share my 10 provocations for the future.  The crucial questions to consider in future-focused education policy: How do we remove education from the fragility of political control?How do we broaden the voices that help define the future developments in education?How can we move away from the restraints of trying to develop a new education system when the existing outcomes are always the focus?Have we spent too long debating how our schools should be managed, rather than how they should be led?How do we move away from the belief that schools improve by primarily focusing on industrial efficiency models?Do we not need to learn far more from how young children learn and think? To devise systems that are more bottom up than top down?Is it not time to move beyond the misinformed debate of “skills vs. knowledge?”If it takes a village to raise a child–and I firmly believe it does–then how do we do it?How do we recruit and train the right people to lead our education system?What is the place of technology?Thanks for joining The Learning Bridge journey this season!

    Today it's an honour to bring you a conversation with the brave and inspirational Gill Hicks.  Gill was a hugely successful young woman working in publishing and music, when, in a split second, her world was dramatically changed. On the morning of 7th July 2005, she was sat on a bus, on her way to work, two seats away from a suicide bomber. Gill was the last survivor dragged from the carnage of that horrific day, so badly injured that in hospital her name tag read, “One Unknown, probably female.”  In this life-affirming and deeply moving episode, Gill discusses her life before and after the attack and the extraordinary life she lives now, dedicated to peace, reconciliation and combating radicalisation. She talks about young people, resilience and how together, we can change the world for the better.   Subscribe to The Learning Bridge wherever you get your podcasts: https://thelearningbridge.bepodcast.network/subscribe  About the host Richard Gerver is a sought-after speaker, world-renowned thinker, and bestselling author of books including Change and Simple Thinking.
