Our current education system is based on a conception of the job market that was developed during the industrial age. Schools are set up to instil skills, knowledge and attitudes that best position us to fit in within that system. But innovations in technology and culture mean that the world new graduates step into may be very different from the one they have been trained to perform in. Should we rethink our whole approach to education? I discuss this with philosopher Maarten van Doorn, whose recent article on Medium inspired this episode.
