Is School Preparing Us for the Future? | Orisa Thanajaro | TEDxYouth@ISBangkok

The world is digitizing. As AI takes over many of our jobs, a new type of employee will be needed, one who is adaptable, creative and solution-oriented, one who can lead and innovate. Yet are schools preparing students for this market or are they relying on outdated educational models that rely on standardized testing and rote memorization? This talk examines the way we can get the education WE need for a dynamically changing job market. Orisa Thanajaro is a 16 year old Thai student whose traveling experience sparked her interest in education. She seeks to one day revolutionize the Thai education system to become more impactful and useful for Thai students. In her free time, she enjoys interacting with people, traveling around the world, and spending quality time with her family. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
