Beyond Current Horizons update
The final version of the Futures Review is now available to download from the Beyond Current Horizons website. Written to inform the programme and stimulate debate, the paper investigates what the ‘really big’ questions are for education in the context of social and technological change. If you’re interested in keeping up to date with the all the latest on this programme (events, tools, findings etc), why not sign up for the Beyond Current Horizons e-newsletter – the first issue comes out at the end of March.
