If you listened to some of the things academics, business experts and policymakers have been saying about how the world has changed, and is changing, you would be forgiven for thinking that everything changes – nothing stands still. And these changes are volatile and unpredictable, and they can cause a great deal of chaos and confusion if we don’t learn how to deal with them properly. Usually, these people go on to make some recommendations on what and how we ought to teach in schools so that the next generation will be able to not only survive but thrive in such a world. I agree with a lot of things these people say. But I also think that some things – some very important things, namely, what is good and the idea of doing no harm – do not change, and it is these things that give meaning to what we do every day. This also has implications for what and how we ought to teach in schools. In fact, there are subjects in the traditional curriculum that are particularly useful in helping us deal with a VUCA world - Philosophy and Literature.]]>
