A WORLD WITHOUT SCHOOLS

CRITICAL THINKING FILE 005

WHAT IF EVERY SCHOOL DISAPPEARED TOMORROW?

No classrooms. No homework. No school bells.

No tests. No timetables. No teachers standing at the front of a classroom.

SOUNDS LIKE EVERY LEARNER'S DREAM... RIGHT?

But wait.

Who would teach children to read, write and solve problems?

Would everyone have the same opportunities to learn?

What would happen to friendships, communities and the future of education?

WOULD A WORLD WITHOUT SCHOOLS CREATE MORE FREEDOM... OR MORE INEQUALITY?

Welcome to A World Without™, a thought-provoking series designed to challenge assumptions, spark meaningful discussions and encourage learners to imagine possibilities beyond the familiar.

In File 005, learners investigate what might happen if schools suddenly disappeared.

Through eight engaging thinking challenges, they explore the immediate consequences, long-term changes and unexpected possibilities of a world without traditional schooling.

They'll consider who might benefit, who might struggle, how learning could continue and whether schools should ever return.

BECAUSE EDUCATION IS ABOUT MORE THAN BUILDINGS, BOOKS AND BELLS!
