Our 15th Audience gives an opportunity to hear a lead figure in Education

Be brave! Changing the curriculum for able, gifted and talented (AG&T) to meet the needs of the 21st Century

•  Would you like to change the curriculum for AG&T?
•  Change the emphasis for AG&T from knowledge to skills
•  Break away from the 200 year old education system – help to prepare AG&T pupils for the 21st Century

The RSA Opening Minds Project called for a radical refashioning of education to help young people develop the competences – the abilities to understand and to do – that they will need to prosper in the knowledge age, a refashioning that would transform the relations between teacher and learner, and the value placed on understanding rather than on the simple acquisition of information.

The success of the Opening Minds project is largely dependent on the willingness of educators, parents and students to break away from the more than 200 year-old education system that is in place today.  For those schools that have embarked on the project, it offers a refreshing new way of teaching young people.

How could this project impact on the education of able, gifted and talented pupils?
