Results from the OECD education idea marketplace
As we announced earlier, the OECD recently launched an idea marketplace to collect ideas about global priorities for education. How did it turn out? In just one month, people from more than 90 countries collectively cast more than 27,000 votes.
Equally impressive, these participants uploaded 325 new ideas, again from all over the world.
The top five ideas (shown below) were presented to education ministers at the summit in Paris, and critically four of these five ideas were uploaded by visitors. In other words, these were ideas that the OECD did not include on their initial list. That means these ideas would not have been collected using a traditional survey in which people are constrained by pre-existing answer choices. This example nicely shows how the idea marketplaces allow new ideas to bubble-up and help you learn about what you don’t know.
The top five ideas were:
- Teach to think, not to regurgitate.
- Commit to education as a public good and a public responsibility.
- Focus more on creating a long-term love of learning and the ability to think critically than teaching to standardised tests.
- Ensure all children have the opportunity to discover their natural abilities and develop them.
- Ensure that children from disadvantaged background and migrant families have the same opportunity to quality education as others.
Here is what OECD had to say about the project.
