What to expect under the cover

With new articles launching regularly, the first INSIGHTS issue explores how families can better prepare the next generation for success in our rapidly changing world.

'In Pursuit of Happiness' delves into the essential role emotional wellbeing plays in the lives of young learners, emphasising the role of emotional wellbeing for long term success. Various experts weigh in on the importance of family and schools promoting happiness, suggesting it may be a more significant predictor of adult well-being than academic achievement.

'The Fourth Education Revolution' ponders the transformative potential of artificial intelligence in education and argues that AI could revolutionise education by offering more personalised learning experiences. It suggests that AI can address issues like social inequality, a student's mental health while also relieving teacher workload.

'Life in the Skills Locker' takes a turn towards the importance of soft skills, urging us to think beyond traditional academic metrics. This article highlights the importance of skills such as emotional intelligence and critical thinking for future success. Schools are gradually incorporating STEAM and problem-solving projects to prepare students for a rapidly changing world.

'Knowledge is Power?' questions the evolving role of memorisation in our age of information abundance. While foundational knowledge is essential, the emphasis is on developing agile learners who can apply their knowledge in real world contexts.

'Social Purpose. Real World Value or Virtual Signalling?' challenges us to reconsider what authentic social impact looks like in educational settings. Driven by Gen Z’s interest in social and environmental causes, institutions are offering resources for impactful student-led initiatives. 

In addition to its captivating articles, INSIGHTS will also serve as a platform to share the latest research findings, interviews with educational leaders, and opinion pieces on best practices in teaching and learning.
