Session Outline
As we move towards education in 2035, we will need to meet the needs of Generation Beta students. With the projected multicareer outlook and the lifelong learning that this will entail, individualised education, hybrid schooling involving online and real-world classrooms, global pathways and AI-integrated environments are all having an impact on education today. This session, grounded in the latest insights from McCrindle’s education report, explores the emerging educational trends and the upcoming generation of learners, and will assist education professionals to innovatively prepare for these changes. It will look at key topics such as:
- A new wave of students
- Engaging the next generation of parents
- Navigating mental health and resilience
- Increasing academic focus in a wellbeing era
- Learning in the digital age
- Redefined classrooms
- Career focussed learning for futureproofing
