Educators are mostly preparing for the 1950s once again and not the world we are entering into

We are losing the context of the world we are moving into,” Talwar said, according to the paper. “We have got this abstract myth that underpins the education system and the exam structure. That myth is that we are going back to the 1950s, and, if we replayed that structure, everything would be fine. It is just not true.”
A British headmaster, or principal, chairman of the independent schools’ conference, was quoted by the paper as saying that schools cannot continue on the educational road they’re on. “We are going to have to innovate in the way we educate,” Christopher King was quoted as saying.

Whether you believe in Home schooling or advanced education or both or whatever, the education systems of the world need to change quite a bit to prepare coming generations for what they are actually going to face worldwide during the next centuries of life.

As an intuitive I can tell you that it is very likely that 100 will be a normal age for everyone to live to or more by 2100 (at least in Europe and the United States and Canada and maybe Australia and New Zealand. What it will be like everywhere else is anyone's guess at present.

It depends upon pollution and robotization and computerization of everything worldwide. Where all this will take us is anyone's guess about right now.

For example, who could have predicted in the early 1980s the collapse of the Soviet Union, China going great guns with Capitalism while keeping the Communist party ruling everything? Who could have predicted then that China might surpass the U.S. economically? (while Russia economically faltered as the Soviet Union because Saudi Arabia dropped the price of oil once in the late 1980s and again today?

The changes are mostly not able to be predicted by the average person here on earth. So, it is going to surprise almost everyone what is actually going to happen worldwide.
