  • Summary

  •  "We have to go from what is essentially an industrial model of education, a manufacturing model, which is based on linearity and conformity and batching people. We have to move to a model that is based on more principles of agriculture. We have to recognize that human flourishing is not a mechanical process- it's an organic process. And you cannot predict the outcome of human development. All you can do, like a farmer, is create the conditions under which they will begin to flourish."- Sir Ken Robinson

     This is the concept that sets the foundation for this special episode of Tshimong Talks. A conversation about the changing needs of education in the Technological Era, and what we as South Africa and our education system should do to meet those needs. 

    In this episode, we speak to Tshimong Co-founder, Professional Learning Designer and Educational Researcher, Bongani Masilela. We have a conversation about the needs of 21st Century education, while reflecting on the pitfalls of the current system. Bongani takes us through his research and experience in technological education and how this could be a solution to our current problems.
