This year’s Education Plenary Session will address the question: “Does the future of learning need to be reimagined?”

From electric cars to smartphone apps, many everyday features of modern life would have been inconceivable to most classroom professionals when they were school students themselves.

The world is evolving so fast that the school curriculum often struggles to keep up. Digital native schoolchildren can be bewildered by classroom teaching methods that shun the online resources at their fingertips.

SDG 4 pledges to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education for all. But how much quality exists in lessons that are stuck in the past?

Instead of learning about environmental sustainability, changing demographics, and the potential of artificial intelligence, children around the world learn from textbooks that would have been familiar to their parents and grandparents.

One Young World Ambassadors have utilised online tools and innovative teaching methods to impact 108,150 students, including child refugees in Malaysia and Myanmar. Our projects have taught 30,000 students and 200 school teachers how to code.

What more can young leaders do to ensure education systems evolve with our changing world?
