Episode #5 | A look at the school system

ABSURDE.
About this episode

In this episode, we take a deep dive into the school system and explore whether it's still effective in the modern world. With the rapid evolution of technology and the changing nature of the workforce, it's natural to question if the traditional school system is still relevant.

We discuss whether simply equipping classrooms with the latest technology is enough to prepare students for the future. We also explore the importance of changing what we teach in school to adapt to the changing needs of the workforce. While we also remember some of the Absurde events we went through during school!

Join us for this thought-provoking discussion on the future of education and whether the current system needs to be reformed to meet the needs of the modern world.
