Description
Book SynopsisThe world of education is in a state of failure. Our teachers are quitting in droves, their natural passion for education stifled. Your children are being let down by a system unfit for our rapidly-changing world, leaving them wholly-unprepared to survive the age of automation. Pulling no punches, education technologist and entrepreneur Priya Lakhani outlines how badly we have failed, and who is to blame – while charting a course for a brighter future. From feeble government reforms to growing mental health crises, Priya leaves no stone unturned in exposing the Inadequate state of education.
Trade ReviewPriya Lakhani is a visionary thinker. Yesterday, her words seemed speculative. Today they are coming into being. Tomorrow, educators, parents and politicians will be left behind if they haven’t listened to her. -- Sir Anthony Seldon
Priya Lakhani uses her forensic analysis skills to identify all the key problems with our broken education system. Her vision for education is profoundly human but turbocharged by the tools of technology to offer real hope for teachers and learners. -- Lord Jim Knight * Tes, and former Schools Minister *
A fascinating book, written by someone whose energy and passion for education are boundless. Packed with interesting ideas and insightful feedback from educators and educational leaders who are using AI for positive change. -- Professor Rose Luckin * UCL *
Priya Lakhani sets out a vision for ending the game of education policy as political ping-pong, breaking out of our obsession with accountability, and creating an education system fit for the brave new world in which we find ourselves. It’s a book that constantly challenges the status quo, setting out a compelling and optimistic vision of what education could – should – look like. It’s an intoxicating, uplifting read. -- Geoff Barton * General Secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders *
