Welcome to the Tortoise Education Summit, a gathering of the biggest names in education as well as students, teachers and employers from around the world. Join us online for a day of conversations on the future of learning.
About the summit
We all thought that the academic year was as immovable as Christmas. But Covid-19 changed everything. Then the Black Lives Matter protests exploded and now people are questioning not just how we learn, but what we learn.
Even before these events, there were nagging questions about the education system and its fitness for the 21st century and beyond. Are exams really the best measure of human ability? Are our curricula right for the difficult years to come when climate change, sustainable economics, equality and basic kindness will be pivotal? Should schools help people be happy, as well as economically productive? Revolutions can be born of disruption. Is now the time for a radical rethink?
How it works
The summit is an entirely virtual event. You can participate using your phone, tablet, or computer.
We’ll be running a series of video ThinkIns – check the Agenda for the times, speakers and subjects. When you book your ticket you’ll be able to join any or all of the sessions on the day. Plus you will be able to join breakout discussions with other attendees.
To help set the scene, we’ll put together some notes and data visualisations that explore the state of education.
