We were pleased to be a knowledge partner for the Tortoise Education Summit, a gathering of the biggest names in education as well as students, teachers and employers from around the world.
Great crises have often provoked huge social change. The British welfare state was born from the pain and privations of the second world war. Might the pandemic be a spur to a new approach to education? The world has gone through an unprecedented educational shock – one whose scale and depth we are only now beginning to understand.
Now in its second year the Tortoise Education Summit (held virtually) asked whether we can build schooling back better after the virus. We have an opportunity to start again from scratch: is it time to do something else?
The event brought together policy makers, educators, parents and pupils over the course of the afternoon in a participatory conversation to tackle the big questions including:
- Have we lost sight of education’s purpose?
- How worried should we be about lost school time – and what should the focus be on for the recovery?
- What do we need to keep from the past year of remote schooling?
- Is the traditional university experience the future of education?
