FuturEYEzing
Dear European Union,
We’re an international group of students working on a Erasmus project focusing on the future education. We have some ideas on how to change education which we’d like tell you about.
We think that in the future school every student should have a computer or a tablet, which should be paid by the school or the government. We think that it’s important that the school should be free so that everybody has the opportunity to learn and decide their own future.
We think that we should have more diversity of subjects, or after school classes. We want the after school classes so that we can develop ourselves and focus more on our hobbies.
There shouldn’t be any homework because then you have more free time and you can focus on what you like doing. After coming home from a six or seven hours or even longer day in school, you should take time to do your hobbies instead of doing homework.
We think that it’s important that the school and the classrooms look good. We know from our own experiences that it’s funnier to learn if you like the classroom and the environment. There should be materials in the classroom, for example posters on the wall to make the lessons easier if you’ve forgotten something.

Our answers to the Ted-talk quotes
-
Robinson says “If you think of it, children starting school this year will be retiring in 2065. Nobody has a clue - despite all the expertise that´s been on the parade for the past four years´ time. And yet we´re meant to be educating them for it. “ How can education prepare children for the future? We think that it’s impossible to prepare the children for the the future since we don’t know how it’s gonna be.
-
Robinson says “My contention is that creativity now is as important in education as literacy, and we should treat it with the same status.” Do you agree? Why? Why not? We think that both are very important but literacy may be a little more important, you can invent something but if you don’t write it down you’re not gonna remember it,
-
Robinson argues that “if you´re not prepared to be wrong, you´ll never come up with anything original”. Can you illustrate Robinson´s opinion with an example? For example yesterday when we were put in the groups some were shy and didn’t want to talk.
-
According to Robinson “the whole purpose of public education throughout the world is to produce university professors.” Do you agree? What should the purpose of public education be? We think that every country has a few jobs that are “better” than others and in the US it’s university professors. Often the best in the class is expected to get a job like this but all people aren’t meant to have these kinds of jobs. And we don’t even know it this is gonna be a god job the future, as we know we can’t predict the future and maybe in 15 years being a dance teacher is a higher rated job than being a doctor and a lawyer.
5. Robinson says that “Suddenly, degrees aren´t worth anything. Isn´t that true? When I was a student, if you had a degree, you had a job. If you didn´t had a job it´s because you didn´t want one…… But now kids with degrees are often heading home to carry on playing video games, because you need an MA where the previous job required a BA and now you need a PhD for the other.” Is this important? A degree is useful and can make things easier when getting a job but it’s not necessary. Maybe 50 years ago it was very important but nowadays you can manage to go a long way with just having skills.
