Description

If the goal of education is to prepare students for the future, why are we not teaching them explicitly about the future?In an age of rapid change and uncertainty, what might education look like if imagination was treated as essential as literacy or numeracy?🎙️ Episode SummaryIn this episode of The Learning Future Podcast, host Louka Parry speaks with Dr. Peter C. Bishop, executive director of Teach the Future and retired professor of strategic foresight from the University of Houston. Together, they explore why futures thinking is not only possible but essential in education. Dr. Bishop challenges conventional education models that overemphasize empirical certainty and neglect imagination, agency, and the capacity to navigate uncertainty. With stories from global classrooms and reflections on decades of foresight education, this episode is a compelling call to reimagine schooling as a place of skills-based learning, deep engagement, and preparation for an unpredictable future.👤 About Dr. Peter BishopDr. Peter C.
