Education that Works?

What education do today's students need to equip them for the workplaces of the future? And what does business need from the youngsters they seek to employ?

With an ever changing employment market, and a workforce that is not only globalised but also increasingly technology driven, what kind of education works to equip today's students for the workplaces of the future? And, what does business need?

We hear from a panel of educational experts including former Ghanaian education minister Elizabeth Ohene and blue skies thinker Marc Prensky. And, we hear from kids about what they make of the huge pressure they are under to perform well at school, and about how competitive they think the jobs market will be for them, when they get there.
