Uncertainty is the only certainty
What do the students need today for tomorrow? We can say with almost absolute certainty that we do not know what the world will look like in 5 years. We have to prepare students that they determined to embrace the uncertainty of tomorrow. The object of learning is therefore ‘life’. Agora is a new learning vision. It has a curriculum with content. You should not rely on the boxes as we know it today (English, maths etc.), but it is fully personalized, meaning that each student follows an individual learning path. Without regular classrooms, traditional subjects or ordinary homework… but connected to the world.
