” Teachers should prepare schoolchildren for a future that could see them having to work 40 different jobs until they reach 100, as many occupations are being taken over by robots, an expert has said. An increasing move towards sharing economy models of business could see people making a living from Uber and Airbnb and taking part-time jobs rather than following a traditional career path, the expert has said. Rohit Talwar, chief executive of Fast Future, a business consultancy, will be addressing nearly 300 headteachers as part of an annual gathering of the Headmasters’ and Headmistresses’ Conference (HMC) in St Andrews, Scotland. The expert will call on school leaders to urgently think about how to prepare children for the rapidly changing working world.”(more)
