Episode notes
Schools Are Behind The Tech Curve
- School systems lag far behind rapid tech change and treat tech largely as add-ons.
- Bureaucracy and slow degree/school reform prevent curricula from keeping pace with industry needs.
Running Paper Piloted Abroad
- The guest described Running Paper, a winner of Muslim Tech Fest, which built a teacher tool for marking and ran pilots abroad.
- Pilots came from forward-thinking schools in places like the UAE and select UK independent schools rather than mainstream trusts.
Supplement School Learning With Tech
- Parents should supplement school learning with real-world tech exposure because schools won't update fast enough.
- Integrate and teach kids how to use AI tools thoughtfully rather than banning them in school.
