Interesting article on the pace of change in educatiopn https://theaienglishteacher.wordpress.com/2024/10/17/ai-bits-episode-12-the-pace-of-change/

As companies in all sectors deploy new technologies
including automation and artificial intelligence (AI),
workers need to adapt their capabilities continuously.
Private- and public-sector leaders have a critical role
to play in helping prepare the workforce of tomorrow
for this skills revolution. Based on the latest McKinsey
research, this paper examines trends across the major
stages of education, from early childhood to lifelong
learning, with a particular focus on the Middle East
and North Africa. It highlights the growing importance
of skills at all these learning stages and examines
how new technologies and approaches can help
students prepare for the future. https://www.mckinsey.com/~/media/mckinsey/industries/education/our%20insights/the%20skills%20revolution%20and%20the%20future%20of%20learning%20and%20earning/the-skills-revolution-and-the-future-of-learning-and-earning-report-f.pdf
