“Rapid, constant, and disruptive change is now the norm, and what succeeded in the past is no longer a guide to what will succeed in the future.” This is true in many fields, yet #education persists because of policies and practices grounded in the past.

That last sentence is ambiguous - “education persists bc/of policies and practices grounded in the past” - it could be read as either resilience or stagnation. But it’s clearer when we consider the outcome: education isn’t thriving, it’s failing. Not in spite of its outdated roots, but because of them. These systems were built for a different world stemming from limited understanding & have been patched, not reimagined. In an age of constant change, this inertia is their undoing.
