Learning is only of any relevance if it is contextualised both within students’ personal and individual experiences but also within the wider theoretical and cultural environment in which they are developing. This keynote will explore how the educational sector as a whole needs to respond to the changing social and economic environment that we find ourselves. It will draw on the specifics of the impact of the fourth industrial revolution and how our world is changing in the 21st century and how education needs to respond to it to ensure future generations are prepared for the new environment that is emerging.
