Redesigning Education: Shaping learning systems around the globe

As we hurtle through the second decade of the 21st century, the pressure for radical change to mainstream education is becoming ever more urgent. Redesigning Education captures the journeys of cities and countries around the world as they travel from the education systems they have to the education systems they want and need. It also highlights the tools and processes they are using along the way.
