Educating Tomorrow’s Leaders Today

Not knowing how the future will turn out is a great challenge to those who have to educate today's children to be effective leaders in the world of tomorrow.  As the COVID 19 pandemic illustrates so poignantly, the world is likely to throw up more and more issues that are inherently complex and filled with uncertainties and even unknowables.

So how do we school the young folk of today?  Richard's guest this morning is a very experienced 'old hand' at these matters. Don Maconachie, who is a Distinguished Companion of the University of the Sunshine Coast, has long been involved in educational reform from primary right through to tertiary. In this episode he shares many of the insights that he has gained from his myriad of experiences with schooling - a term which he distinguishes from education!  Reform and transformation are at the heart of his message.
