#41 Sir Anthony Seldon, former Vice-Chancellor, University of Buckingham: Why we need a fourth education revolution

As former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Buckingham and former Head of Wellington College, Sir Anthony Seldon is one of Britain’s leading voices calling for radical change in education. He wants to move from what he calls the third education revolution – which was marked by homogenisation, heavy administrative burdens and little social mobility – to a fourth education revolution, one that embraces AI to personalise learning and frees up teachers to focus on relationships, developing student agency and offering everyone more autonomy. We talk about why he’s confident the pace of change is accelerating, why every human should get to experience university and why wellbeing must be a priority.Show notes:More about Sir Anthony Seldon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Seldon More about Action For Happiness: https://www.actionforhappiness.org/ 10 days of happiness programme: https://10daysofhappiness.org/ The Fourth Education Revolution: How Artificial Intelligence is Changing the Face of Education: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40093369-the-fourth-education-revolution Books by Anthony Seldon: https://www.goodreads.com/author/list/211589.Anthony_Seldon Favourite book about learning: ‘Le Grand Meaulnes’ by Alain-Fournier https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/794779.LeGrandMeaulnes
