What Is Next in Education?

Practical ways schools can help students explore careers, understand their strengths, and make informed choices without pressure to decide too early.

AI can save teachers time. School leaders must decide how those gains strengthen meaningful work, human connection, and teachers’ sense of being valued.

Imagine visiting one of the world's best schools in 2035. What would you expect to see?

More devices have long seemed inevitable in education. Some school systems are now asking how to balance digital learning with experiences beyond screens.

Schools around the world are introducing AI education. Their approaches raise practical questions about what students should learn and how teachers can prepare.
