Global Experts to Discuss Future of Education at 2019 WISE Summit

Doha, November 10 (QNA) - In the context of a rapidly evolving world with exponential technological changes, more than 200 speakers and 150 sessions will drive conversations to shape the future of education at the 2019 WISE Summit.

The summit, taking place from November 19-21, will see educators, experts, thought leaders, and decision makers from around the globe gather to reimagine the future of education, discussing the behaviors, skills, and traits we must unlearn and relearn to flourish in the 21st century around the theme UnLearn, ReLearn: What it means to be Human.

Among the questions at the heart of the discussions are: Should schools teach students how to be happy? Will artificial intelligence make teachers obsolete? Can the latest discoveries in neuroscience make our kids smarter? Do students care about what they are learning? Should schools get rid of grading systems? Should students pledge a percentage of their future salary to fund their higher education?

From discussing how to relearn the emotional skills we need in order to learn, to debating whether well-being should be taught in schools, to uncovering global ed-tech trends and their impact on innovation, WISE 2019 will address the pressing issues and current trends facing education. (QNA)
