Young people who attend schools today are likely to hold future jobs that don't yet exist. While generative artificial intelligence (AI) will eventually automate hundreds of millions of today's jobs, people who are able to effectively use AI tools to complement skills like leadership, imagination, and creativity will certainly have an advantage in the future workforce. But for many countries, especially the United States, the education system simply has not caught up to prepare today's young people for such futures. The U.S. system continues to largely operate in a time-based, one-size-fits-all fashion -- culling and sorting students based on age and arbitrary cut scores. Exploring educational innovations from other countries enriches our own practices by introducing diverse perspectives and cutting-edge strategies that can drive meaningful improvements and foster global collaboration.
