Is School Preparing Us for the Future? | Orisa Thanajaro | TEDxYouth@ISBangkok

The world is digitizing. As AI takes over many of our jobs, a new type of employee will be needed, one who is adaptable, creative and solution-oriented, one who can lead and innovate. Yet are schools preparing students for this market or are they relying on outdated educational models that rely on standardized testing and rote memorization? This talk examines the way we can get the education WE need for a dynamically changing job market. Orisa Thanajaro is a 16 year old Thai student whose traveling experience sparked her interest in education. She seeks to one day revolutionize the Thai education system to become more impactful and useful for Thai students. In her free time, she enjoys interacting with people, traveling around the world, and spending quality time with her family. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Great speech krub! Totally agree with project base, base on student's interest and benefits of society. Education should be about cooperation , sharing, open, equality, not competition. If education is good or practical, then we should have less problems in the world and people live better not worst. Perhaps unethical and greed for unlimited money and power corrupt us and the world. We need to rethink and create more schools that focus on individual learning, interest, and passion on cookie cutter curriculum that is not helping and very destructive to students' potential, time and resources. For example, take covid19 vaccines that poor countries need and rich countries won't give to them, it is practical now for countries to start pooling resources, and develop cheap and affordable covid19 vaccines. May be this should be started in new schools with project base learning and funding from countries. As you know, vaccines from major pharma still have low efficacy and need boosters. We can do better if we pool resources together fast.
