The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us that we cannot take the future of education for granted. The future likes to surprise us, so how can today's schools prepare students for a world that doesn't yet exist? What must be focussed on, and what must we aspire to, for students to succeed in the future? We speak to Anthony Partington, the Executive Principal of Sri KDU Schools, to discuss how our education system can and should be reshaped to keep up to date with the growing demands of the 21st century.
