The world is moving faster and faster. Information is multiplying more rapidly than anyone can organize or absorb it. Job requirements are changing before our eyes. Technology is creating new jobs and destroying existing ones. The type of education we offer will be a critical determinate of our success in meeting these challenges. We require rapid and radical changes in the way we educate youth to prepare them for success in the society that is emerging.
The one-day conference on Future Education was organized by The Mother's Service Society (MSS), an educational and social science research institute and owner of Primrose School, Puducherry in collaboration with Mind Mingle Education, New Delhi, the World Academy of Art & Science and the World University Consortium, USA.
The conference examined the changes needed in our schools and provided an opportunity to know, learn and adopt the different innovative methodologies, strategies and ideas practiced in different schools across India and overseas.
This conference was a follow-up to the 1st & 2nd International Conferences on Future Education at the University of California at Berkeley on October 2-3, 2013 and at the University of Rome III on November 16-18, 2017.
