England (London)

Both challenges and opportunities are arising form the radical changes being introduced to the English education system. With young people entering an increasingly uncertain future, this conference brings together leading education and business figures from across the world to explore some of the key issues English schools and the education system need to confront to prepare young people for life and work.
Some of the questions to be covered include:
- What knowledge, skills and personal qualities do employers seek in graduates, school leavers and apprentices?
- What does the 21st century hold for us and what are the implications for schools and education systems?
- What is Finland doing to its education system to prepare their young people for life and work?
- What is one of the top chain of schools in America doing to make sure every student leaves school "college ready"?
