Drivers of fundamental change in education

In this session we begin to explore the drivers of change in education and focus our attention on differentiating between trends (predetermineds) and key uncertainties. We will reflect on key uncertainties identified by international thought leaders from the education sector and introduce key uncertainties from our own experiences. We will work collaboratively to rank and prioritise identified uncertainties. Finally participants will be invited to select their own uncertainties for building their scenario.
