IS SCHOOL STILL PREPARING US FOR REAL LIFE: RETHINKING HOW WE LEARN IN A CHANGING WORLD.

​Education is often presented as the pathway to a better future. But in a world where technology is changing how we learn, work and access information, is the traditional education system still preparing us for real life?

​Join the Obele Women Empowerment Foundation (OWEF) for an honest and practical panel conversation with four education professionals as we explore what education should really prepare us for, where the current system falls short, and how learning needs to evolve.

​We’ll discuss the relationship between education, practical skills and opportunities, the changing role of teachers, the impact of technology and AI, and what young people need to thrive beyond the classroom.

​What to expect:

• ​An honest conversation about the value and limitations of traditional education

• ​Real experiences and examples from education practitioners

• ​Practical perspectives on skills, employability and lifelong learning

• ​A discussion on AI and the future of learning

• ​Audience Q&A
