This document discusses the future of education in South Africa by 2030. It notes that demand for resources will increase significantly by 2030, exacerbating problems like food and water scarcity. To meet these challenges, South Africa needs to build a democratic state, integrate into the global economy, and address inequities from apartheid. Education is crucial for development, but South Africa's education system needs transformation to develop skills for a changing world, overcome colonial and apartheid legacies, and establish a strong culture of learning.
The document discusses America's declining scientific leadership and competitiveness in science and technology. It notes that the US is training and retaining fewer scientists compared to countries like China. Several statistics are presented showing declining performance in areas like math, science and engineering education in the US compared to other nations. Reasons proposed for this decline include underfunding of education, difficulties obtaining student visas, and a perception that more opportunities now exist abroad. The document argues that strengthening STEM education is key to maintaining US innovation and security in the future.
This document discusses quality in foresight and forecasting for emerging markets. It begins by providing examples of past forecast failures and outlines several "levels" of future uncertainty. It then discusses various "limits" or challenges with different forecasting approaches, such as relying only on sector experts, overextrapolating trends, and the limitations of quantitative forecasting. It advocates using scenarios to explore multiple plausible futures rather than single point predictions. The document concludes by outlining implications for views of emerging markets like South Africa in 2030, emphasizing the need to plan for unpredictable change, practice high-quality foresight, respect consumer adoption patterns, and understand when we can influence versus must adapt to the future.

This document discusses Africa's potential to address future global food demand by utilizing its vast uncultivated arable land and water resources. It notes that Africa's population is projected to increase 107% by 2050, driving a corresponding increase in food demand. However, Africa currently utilizes only a small fraction of its potential for irrigation and arable farming. With adequate infrastructure development, funding, and cooperation between African nations, the continent could become a major global food producer and help alleviate world poverty by capitalizing on its largely untapped agricultural resources and land.
The document summarizes a talk on changing approaches to addressing complex global problems. It argues that (1) a systems thinking worldview is needed to deal with complexity and interconnected issues, (2) ideal future designs can help change current problematic trajectories, and (3) stakeholder governance involving multiple actors can help implement strategies aligned with an ideal transversal design.

Wfs Conference The Energy Revolution By Michael Lee PdfMichael Lee
This document discusses South Africa's energy situation and the need for an energy revolution. It notes that South Africa relies heavily on coal, oil and gas for its energy needs but production of these fossil fuels will soon peak. It argues that South Africa has not adequately addressed this impending energy crisis and must transition to new energy sources like solar, nuclear and renewable energy to prevent economic collapse. The document provides statistics on South Africa's current energy production, consumption and reserves to illustrate the country's heavy dependence on depleting fossil fuels and lack of preparation for an energy revolution.
This document summarizes the key lessons learned from two scenario planning processes conducted for long-term city and regional planning in South Africa. The processes engaged stakeholders to collectively imagine different futures for the Gauteng city region and the King Sabata Dalindyebo municipality. They identified strategic choices, distilled learning, and suggested scenario planning as a tool for other communities. The main lessons were that solid research, engagement of broader communities, addressing powerlessness and fragmentation, and enabling long-term local partnerships are essential for effective long-term regional planning.
This document summarizes the transition from pre-industrial to industrial production in Europe and its impact in India. It describes how merchants in Europe first turned to the countryside to produce goods due to guild restrictions in towns. Rural artisans agreed to work for merchants. This led to the development of relationships between towns and countryside. Eventually, factories began to consolidate all stages of production under one roof, driven by inventions that increased efficiency. The growth of factories had mixed impacts - it provided jobs but also unemployment and poor working conditions. The rise of European industries like cotton had negative effects in India, undermining weavers and the export trade they relied upon.

Globalization involves increasing integration of economies and societies through cross-border trade, investment, and the exchange of ideas and culture. While globalization has increased world GDP and raised standards of living for many, it has also resulted in economic difficulties for some groups. Future societies may integrate more globally through shared technologies and media, but could also emphasize local cultures and self-sufficiency. Overall, globalization outcomes depend on how its opportunities and challenges are managed.

David Hulme presentation at a Your Manchester Insights Event for University of Manchester Alumni.
David Hulme discusses what is getting worse in development, what is getting better, and what we can do to alleviate the doom and gloom.
People are living longer, global GDP has risen by over 300% and extreme poverty has been reduced by over half, yet discourse is dominated by doom and gloom. Improvements in the economy, social policy and politics have lead to these improvements but there is still much to be done on inequality, and climate change.

This document discusses whether museums can help save the world by becoming more sustainable in the future. It suggests that in 20-40 years, sustainable museums may be embedded in their communities, have a small environmental impact, and be financially stable. It then provides several scenarios for how California museums could change and adapt, such as becoming more distributed throughout communities, catering to an aging population, or revolutionizing education. The document argues that culture and museums can help create social connections, shift values towards less materialism, and drive innovation to solve world problems and create a happier society.
This document discusses globalization from several perspectives in 3 sections. It begins by defining globalization as the international integration arising from the exchange of ideas, products, and culture.

Developing responsible leaders in China- 2011GNCC_CSR
Developing responsible leaders in China presents many challenges but is a necessity for the country's survival and continued growth. Some of the key challenges China faces include corruption, environmental degradation, water shortages, workplace safety issues, human rights concerns, and intellectual property violations. Leaders are taking steps to address these issues, such as punishing over 100,000 officials for corruption in 2009 and setting ambitious targets for reducing pollution and energy use. However, solving deep-rooted problems like corruption may require fundamental changes to China's political and economic systems. Developing leaders who can navigate these complex challenges responsibly is critical for China's future.

African to succeed in a rapidly changing
environment, and
3. The role that education in South Africa must play to
help South Africa(ns) to develop such attributes
3. 2030: A Watershed
“By 2030 the demand for resources will create a
crisis with dire consequences
Demand for food and energy will jump 50% by 2030
and for fresh water by 30%, as the population tops
8.3 billion. Climate change will exacerbate matters in
unpredictable ways”. Beddington.
“Change is now ubiquitous, non-linear and
persistent” Nixon
4. Dalin’s 10 Revolutions
• 1. The knowledge and information revolution
• 2. The population explosion
• 3. Globalisation
• 4. The economic revolution
• 5. The technological revolution
• 6. The ecological revolution
• 7. The social/cultural revolution
• 8. The aesthetic revolution
• 9. The political revolution
• 10. The values revolution.
5. South Africa’s Triple Challenge
• Build a democratic state
• Integrate itself into the competitive arena of
international production and finance.
• Reconstruct domestic social and economic relations
to eradicate and redress the inequitable patterns of
ownership, wealth and social and economic practices
that were shaped by segregation and apartheid
6. WHY EDUCATION MATTERS
• Social thinkers from Confucius through Buddha,
Plato, Aquinas, Ibn Khaldun, Calvin, Newton,
Rousseau, Comte, Mill, Marx, Gramsci, Nyerere to
Wallerstein, Castro and Castells in our present day all
allocate a special place in their theories of
development to knowledge.
• Education for them is the foundation for whatever
form of development or progress one espouses.
• Manual Castells: “knowledge and networks”
18. Some Relevant S A Statistics
• Population : 49million
• GDP: $287 billion
• GDP per capita : $5,600
• Unemployment: 25.2% (Conservative)
• State grants of all kinds: More the 12 million
• No. of Taxpayers: ± 7.5 million (5.4 Individual)
• Education budget as % of revenue: 20%
21. Big Question
• What kind of society must we be in order to meet
the challenges of 2030?
• Are we now ready to deal with (understand and act
upon) our present reality and are we developing the
competences necessary to transform ourselves
rapidly so as to deal with significant current and
future social and natural environmental changes
• What vision, leadership, processes, tools and other
resources are necessary to take us there.
22. Starting Points
• “We need to wise up or change course or
hardly a decade from now, Zimbabwe will be
our destination, our reality”.
Barney Mthombothi
23. Education in South Africa
Must Change
• Conditions for excellence absent (Leviathan)
• No strong modern Learning culture
• Colonial and Apartheid legacies
• 1976 Soweto legacy
• 1994: Transformation (narrow conception)
• No national discourse
• No consolidated community agency
24. Leviathan: Thomas Hobbes
"Whatsoever therefore is consequent to a time of Warre,
where every man is Enemy to every man; the same is
consequent to the time, wherein men (sic) live without other
security than what their own strength, and their own
invention shall furnish them with. In such condition,
there is no place for Industry; because the fruit thereof
is uncertain; and consequently no Culture of the Earth; no
Navigation, nor use of the commodities that may be imported
by Sea; no commodious Building; no Instruments of moving,
and removing such things as require much force; no Knowledge
of the face of the Earth; no account of Time; no Arts; no Letters;
no Society; and which is worst of all, continuall feare,
and danger of violent death; And the life of man (sic), solitary,
poore, nasty, brutish, and short.
25. Education in South Africa
• Conditions for excellence absent (Leviathan)
• Colonial and Apartheid legacies (War)
• Exclusivity (We are different)
• No strong modern Learning culture
• 1976 Soweto legacy
• 1994: Transformation:
• No national discourse
26. Education in South Africa
• Curriculum 2005 fantasy
• Absence of strong professional teaching
culture
• Binary thinking: ambivalence about science
• Cautious national leadership
• No consolidated community agency
• Unwillingness by stakeholders to face up.
27. The Continents: To Scale
• The land area of each territory is shown here.
• The total land area of these 200 territories is 13,056 million hectares. Divided up equally that
would be 2.1 hectares for each person. A hectare is 100 metres by 100 metres.
• However, population is not evenly spread: Australia's land area is 21 times bigger than
Japan's, but Japan's population is more than six times bigger than Australia's.
28. Primary Education
• "Everyone has the right to education", according to the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights. The second Millennium Development Goal is to achieve universal primary education.
In 2002, 5 out of 6 eligible children were enrolled in primary education worldwide. However,
enrolment does not guarantee attendance, or completion.
• If primary education continues beyond the expected years, enrolment rates can exceed
100%. In Argentina there is an impressive 108% enrolment. On the other side of the Atlantic
Ocean 30% of children in Angola are enrolled in primary school.
29. Secondary Education
• Worldwide approximately 73 million children are enrolled in each year of
secondary education out of a possible 122 million children. That is only 60%
getting a secondary education.
• In China on average 89% get a secondary education, but in India it is only 49%.
Figures in Africa are even lower: 45% in Northern Africa, 25% in Southeastern
Africa and 13% in Central Africa. The lowest is 5% in Niger. What is compulsory in
some territories is a rarity in others.
30. Tertiary Education
• The highest percentage of the student aged population
enrolled is in Finland. Finland is 3.6 times the world average,
with 140 times the chance of a tertiary education than in
Mozambique.
31. Science Research
• Scientific papers cover physics, biology, chemistry, mathematics, clinical medicine, biomedical research,
engineering, technology, and earth and space sciences.
• The number of scientific papers published by researchers in the United States was more than three times
as many as were published by the second highest-publishing population, Japan.
• There is more scientific research, or publication of results, in richer territories. This locational bias is such
that roughly three times more scientific papers per person living there are published in Western Europe,
North America, and Japan, than in any other region.
32. New Patents
• In 2002, 312 thousand patents were granted around the world. More than a third of these were granted in
Japan. Just under a third were granted in the United States.
• A patent is supposed to protect the ideas and inventions that people have. Patenting something will then
allow the owner of the patent to charge others for the usage of an idea or invention. The aim is to reward
the creator for their hard work or intelligence. But patents can prevent people from using good ideas
because they cannot afford to do so.
• A quarter of all territories had no new patents in 2002, so will not profit from these in future years as
others will.

41. EDUCATION IN 2030
• It is quite possible, on the basis on the amazing
technological advances now being made,
especially with respect to communication,
to suggest what organisations and tools education
would have at its disposal in 2030, and how
dramatically this could change the ways in which
education would develop.
42. Sources of Information and
Prediction
• Science fiction has always been a source of
possibilities and the extent to these have eventuated
is amazing.
• Today, a new breed of knowledge creators called
futurist, are confidently going about their business of
using the present to forecast the future.
• Other disciplines have worked in this area as well.
We think of speculative historians like Spengler,
Toynbee and Marx. Also of social scientists like David
Kaplan and Manual Castells, and poets like W B Yeats

The skills fall into three categories: learning
and innovations skills; digital literacy skills;
and life and career skills. Charles Fadel

21st Century the most important learning
tools are our minds, our hearts and our hands,
all working together. (Fadel)
56. A NEW MISSION FOR SCHOOLS
• The school is not just a tool for youth, but is a
resource for the entire community it serves: Provides
co-working and incubator resources for people with
ideas that want to involve youth, and facilitates
innovative, non-formal, informal, and invisible
opportunities. (Anon)
• A new breed of teacher/facilitators are trained and
recruited to do away with download-style pedagogy,
and rather serve as curators of ideas and enablers of
creativity and innovation. (Anon)
57. Relevance of Schools and
Residential Universities in 2030
• Schools, especially primary schools relevant for:
1. Socialisation role
2. Creating sense of teams
3. Induction into knowledge processes
• Residential Universities relevant for:
1. Content
2. Support services
3. Social life
4. Qualifications
But elitist and no longer have monopoly

60. The Second Coming: W B Yeats
• Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon
cannot hear the falconer;
• Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere
anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-
dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The
ceremony of innocence is drowned;
• The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full
of passionate intensity
