Broken education and our childern pay the price! | Edi Pyrek & Mateusz Pyrek | TEDxKamionek Salon
In this explosive TEDx talk, father and son duo Edi & Mateusz Pyrek reveal the shocking truth behind today’s education crisis. We’re living in the Destruction Age where technology advances at warp speed, but schools remain stuck in the past.For the first time in history, the youngest generation is getting dumber than the one before it. Cyberbullying and suicide rates are rising. Kids are overwhelmed by AI and digital tools... yet nobody teaches them how to use it.So what ARE the real skills of the future?
They asked top performers from around the world and uncovered 5 essential ones.
And here’s the scary part - schools only teach 25% of these skills. No wonder our kids are lost.
This isn’t just a talk. It’s a wake-up call. If we want the next generation to thrive, we need to rethink everything starting with how we teach.
