In this episode, we talk to the Canadian CEO of Omnis Education, Jenn Sutherland-Miller about North American schooling, and why learning beyond the traditional school system can open up so many opportunities for young people. Why is ‘self-directed’ learning so important? How do you make sure children learn what is relevant to their own individual needs? Why does Jenn believe that ‘unschooling’ is the way forward for some pupils in the 21st century? It’s a thought-provoking episode, and the second of our shows focusing on alternatives to mainstream education.
