FORUM:
Our Schools in the Year 2030

How will they be different?

The past few years have seen a whirlwind of developments in school reform. Dramatic efforts to upend the 20th-century model of local schooling—among them, increased accountability and charter schooling—have made considerable advances. What if we look a little further out? To the near future, a place we can almost touch. What will it take to create schools that are efficient, effective, and equal to the challenges of the 21st century? In this forum, two veteran observers—one a savvy entrepreneur, the other a leading scholar—take a look at the world of schooling circa 2030, sharing two widely different perspectives on what education is likely to look like and what that means for school reform today.
