The world of education is in a state of failure. Our teachers are quitting in droves, their natural passion for education stifled. Your children are being let down by a system unfit for our rapidly-changing world, leaving them wholly-unprepared to survive the age of automation. Pulling no punches, education technologist and entrepreneur Priya Lakhani outlines how badly we have failed, and who is to blame - while charting a course for a brighter future. From feeble government reforms to growing mental health crises, Priya leaves no stone unturned in exposing the Inadequate state of education.
Priya Lakhani OBE is the Founder CEO of CENTURY Tech, the award-winning artificial intelligence education technology company. CENTURY is the global leader in AI-powered learning tools for schools and families, working in dozens of countries across the world. In 2008, Priya left her career as a barrister to launch a successful cooking-sauce business, which through its charitable foundation provided millions of meals and thousands of vaccinations to the underprivileged in India and Africa, and funded several schools. Priya was awarded Business Entrepreneur of the Year by the Chancellor in 2009 and Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 2014. She was a business advisor to the UK' s coalition government, was appointed to the UK government' s AI Council in 2019 and is a regular commentator on global news for the BBC. In 2018, Priya co-founded the Institute for Ethical AI in Education. In 2018, CENTURY won a prestigious MIT SOLVE (Education) award, and in 2019, Priya was named Economic Innovator of the Year by The Spectator. In 2020, she was awarded an honorary doctorate by Coventry University' s engineering faculty and appointed Honorary Vice President of the Council of British International Schools.
