The Relevance Gap

The heart of our ISP Mission is to prepare learners to adapt and contribute to our changing world by engaging them in an authentic global education.

In order to realise this mission, we examine trends to better anticipate what may be “life worthy learning.”

The title of this first Edge in Education session of 2014-15 was “The Relevance Gap: will today’s content be relevant in the future of our current students?”

Attendees were encouraged to watch this six-minute interview with David Perkins of Harvard University which acted as a springboard for the discussion about the challenges the relevance gap poses and how we’re addressing some of these challenges here at ISP.
