Teacher training, leadership training, and curricular reforms are often talked about as remedies to overcome the learning crisis. But what if the model of the school as we know it is simply inadequate and outdated?
Join our next Strategic Debate on 25 June 2018 with Madhav Chavan, co-founder Pratham Education Foundation. His organization has been working with the school system in India for two decades, primarily in underprivileged urban and rural communities. His talk will focus on a new afterschool initiative that relies on children learning groups with help from parents, local volunteers, and information technology resources and tools. While still in its early stages, this hybrid-learning programme is pointing in interesting directions to create open learning spaces for lifelong education.
Suzanne Grant Lewis, Director of IIEP-UNESCO, will be the moderator, and Valtencir Mendes, Project Officer working on ICT in Education at UNESCO, will be the discussant.

2018 Strategic Debate theme
There is widespread recognition of the global learning crisis, with millions of children and youth unable to perform basic skills in reading, writing, and math. What is less clear is what children need to learn and how we can foster all-inclusive quality education for a rapidly changing future. In pursuit of SDG 4, we must look beyond the obvious and debate new ideas and strategies that will ultimately redefine learning while ensuring accessibility for all.
