Learning on ScreenWe Are the People We’Ve Been Waiting for
- Synopsis
- This independent documentary is based on an idea by Lord Puttnam and Michael Barber. It follows the lives of five Swindon-based teenagers and the challenges they face during their education. It reveals the dislocation between our education system and the rapidly changing, globalised world which is increasingly dominated by digital technology, and focuses on the need for fundamental change in teaching and learning.
The film features a host of influential personalities who share their personal experience and opinion on the education system. Contributors include Sir Ken Robinson, Bill Bryson, Sir Richard Branson, Henry Winkler, Dame Ruth Silver and Germaine Greer. - Language
