44 Insights into Future Education Trends

— November 20, 2008 — Social Good
Increasingly we’re hearing of people like Kristen Stewart drop out of school early and continue their education by private lessons or correspondence courses.

Parents turn to these alternative education methods for varying reasons, from their personal travel needs to a belief that their children would be better education outside the traditional classroom. In the case of Kristen Stewart, the lead actress from Twilight, she dropped out after the 7th grade to continue her education via correspondence to pursue her acting career.

The future of education will no doubt look very different from the systems being used today, but a look into some of the most cutting edge education trends and future concepts can offer great insight.
