LISTEN NOW to the Global Pathways Innovations Mini-Series introduction.
In this final mini-series of 2025, you'll hear about some of the most exciting things happening around the world for pathways through the upper end of high school from the voices of the young people involved in them.
The final years of high school are often the “business-end” of formal schooling, where we often demand that young people just knuckle down and suffer the "rigours" of high stakes standardized exams and college entrance tests. But these conversations really show you that alternatives to this are not only possible, but happening!
Too often, we can talk a great game of hyperbole and hubris about our apparently "paradigm-shifting" designs, but the young people actually experiencing them are telling a different story. What better way to get at the truth than by hearing from the young people themselves! So in this mini-series (five episodes), you'll hear from 19 young people about their experiences of the kinds of competencies they feel they are learning and need to learn, what they find energising and enabling, and how they feel about the adults who are very often giving so much heart and hard work into this work, to support and guide them.
