“The objective of this programme is to enable participants to see the big picture concerning education. We have a role to play in enabling young people to participate in and develop our society – and in that sense the education must be relevant and give the children a foundation for coping with their lives as individuals and as a society.”
— Frode Kvittem, Head of Education, Verdal Municipality
“Our team from Junior Achievement Norway are really inspired to work with Form the Future because we share the same goals and ambitions. We both have a role to play in supporting schools to increase the relevance of their teaching so that young people understand what is expected of them in school and beyond. Businesses have a key role to play in ensuring that the school curriculum is relevant to the future world of work and inform this expectation

“This conference has made me realise that although we are already doing an awful lot towards helping students to develop the skills that they need for the jobs of tomorrow, there is still a lot of work to do!”
— Dave Strong, Chemistry Teacher, Hills Road Sixth Form College
“The conference had a real energy, a conference buzzing with the spirit of collaboration between teachers, across national boundaries and with employers. This was great to see, and be part of, because at Arm we recognise that effective careers awareness for young people can only happen where there is collaboration in a non-competitive environment across all parties.”
