THE CHALLENGE FUTURE OF LEARNING • In the lead-up to each issue, Frame challenges emerging designers to answer a topical question with a future-forward concept. Today’s educational landscape is defined by instability – how do you prepare students for a career that may see them doing many jobs and working for various companies, even industries, often at the same time? Add to that scenario the threat of automation, precarious labour practices and political upheaval, and it’s clear that school is not a place that ends the day you graduate, but a permanent state of affairs. We asked five makers to share their ideas on tackling this uncertain future.
