Professor Andreas Schleicher
Director of Education and Skills and Special Advisor on Education Policy to the Secretary General, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)
Theme Presentation | Empowering Education: Navigating the Digital Landscape with Learner Ownership
In this presentation, Professor Schleicher discusses how technology can be leveraged, and how it must not change the personal and relational nature of learning, and that ethics and standards must be adopted and understood. We know that the engagement of students by teachers is critical to student success, and that student voice, choice, and agency must be fostered to create new global leaders.
Panel 1—From applicant to admitted:
Navigating the competitive admissions landscape of the world’s leading universities
Prestigious universities earn their ranking—in part—by being highly selective in the admissions process, matching students and programs to ensure an outstanding university student experience both in, and out, of the classroom. Beyond rank and reputation, how does a student choose the “right” university for them when each has its own culture and ethos? In this panel, leaders from top universities discuss focus, fit, and future—together we’ll explore what students, their families, and guidance counsellors should consider when navigating the admissions process of these highly competitive institutions.
