School of Tomorrow

The disruptions caused by the digital revolution have shaken up our school system inherited from the industrial revolution. But is it possible to create a new kind of school, more efficient and less prone to inequalities? Through various innovative educational experiments conducted in France, the United States, Finland, or Singapore, this investigation also highlights the contribution of advances in neurosciences to this new field of research. Using many concrete examples and expert analysis, this science documentary takes us on a journey to discover pedagogical and educational initiatives around the world that prefigure the school of tomorrow.

Director Statement

This miniseries in two episodes is a pragmatic, scientific and international exploration of this major issue that is education by unveiling the school of tomorrow. An exciting question that concerns everyone, especially parents, because it impacts what they care about the most: the future of their children.

This film adopts a scientific, pragmatic approach, relying systematically on studies, on facts and on demonstrated proofs rather than on potentially biased rhetorical declarations.

Thanks to the important progress of cognitive and social sciences, it is now possible to demonstrate the effectiveness of certain methodological methods: neuroeducation, digital tools in the classroom, reversed classroom, individualized teaching, etc. Therefore, the film focuses on finding what truly works, all around the world, and on denouncing what doesn’t work with false promises.

Schools are lively, highly cinegenic places. The film relies on leading international experts to better understand the challenges and issues at stake.
