The post-pandemic world provides all of us with the opportunity to think differently about what we want for society. In Educating Tomorrow, Chris Brown and Ruth Luzmore explore what a post-Covid ‘blank slate’ education system could look like.
Taking you on a journey which considers the past and present to inform their prediction of the obstacles and opportunities posed by a post-pandemic future, the authors present a new vision for the future of education which might not have been possible without the eruption of Covid-19. Offering up a range of proposals for how education can begin to emerge anew, and ultimately reach an improved destination, Brown and Luzmore showcase how even in the midst of unprecedented global challenges, it might be possible for us to revolutionise education systems for the better.

'This engaging book cleverly uses the past and the present to point the way to an education fit for the future. Change is forever with us, but, today, it is writ large and the needs of tomorrow will be unlike those of today. Thought about what should happen in schools has a tendency to focus on the minutiae of today’s practices in order to make them better for tomorrow. Refreshingly, this book looks at the bigger picture and provides a basis for more relevant practice. I will be recommending it to my students and colleagues.'
