The world is changing rapidly – but are our education systems keeping up with the pace?
This landmark independent documentary, inspired and guided by Lord Puttnam and Sir Michael Barber, explores the education system in the UK and asks whether the current system provides young people with the opportunity to develop their talents.
High profile figures who share their personal experiences include Sir Richard Branson, Germain Greer, Henry Winkler, Bill Bryson and Sir Ken Robinson. This thought-provoking film offers unique insight across generations and nations, and reveals a very inconvenient truth about education.
What can we learn from this film as we consider the Australian education experience?
