Dr Robert Kay believes Australia’s current education system is failing children because it is preparing them for the previous century, not the one we’re in or the one we’re facing. Through thousands of hours of in-classroom observation and evaluation, Kay found that only 8% to 15% of Australia’s teachers are teaching the way the education system needs. He’s leading a push to reorient Australia’s education system toward teaching children the higherorder skills they’ll need to thrive in a future economy – skills like problemsolving, collaboration, communication, entrepreneurship and innovation.
