Is Britain's education system fit for purpose in the 21st century? (Part 1)

The Black Spy Podcast, Season 10, Episode 0004

This week's black spy podcast deals with the question of, Is Britain's education system fit for purpose in the 21st century?

In part one of this discussion we delve into is the way that Britain's education system has an over reliability on a small number of elitist private schools in terms of providing Britain it most perceived educated cadre.

However the Black Spy Podcast questions whether these private, also known as public schools in Britain, create the type of technically educated people we require in the 21st century.

We also examine the slant towards students from these school gaining privileged access to top UK universities such as Oxford, Cambridge and St Andrews Universities etc (aka. The Russell group top flight UK universities) when compared to students from regular state schools.

Carlton king and Fergus Esack bring on the show Fergus' mother, Eva Strauss, who is a PhD educator in a top class private public school and a state registered examination examiner, in a fascinating and widespread discussion on all aspects of Britain's education system.

This debate looks into the business, public sector and private sector needs for educated employees in this era of technological change. So, we also touch on what effect artificial intelligence will have on education in Britain and elsewhere in the world, and whether Britain will have the skills to compete.

The team also consider whether actually obtaining educational knowledge is necessary in an era when one can simply Google everything in an instant. The team also ask if hand writing will become obsolete in the coming decades.

So, once again Carlton and Fergus go to places that most podcasts hosts don't do, yet still manage to make the show entertaining, interesting and educational.
