About the Initiative
UNESCO created the International Commission for the Futures of Education to lead a global debate to rethink education and shape the future culminating in a report that will influence international education policy. Download UNESCO's brochure here to find out more about the initiative.
The Climate Commission for UK Higher and Further Education held four 1-hour long focus groups to collect input from students. The focus groups were facilitated by student Commissioners and involved informal discussions about education with a maximum of 10 students.
Discussion questions included:
- How do you view the future? When you think about 2050 do you feel hopeful/concerned etc?
- Considering your previous answer, what should the purpose of education be in 2050?
- How should what we learn, how we learn and where we learn change in the future?
Students' opinions and insights have been collated and summarised in a report. The report has been sent to UNESCO to contribute to their work on global education policy.
