Description

Primary school teacher Nik Pandya started his teaching career in an inner city school in London before relocating to Barcelona. After becoming frustrated with the current state of the education system, Nik is now developing projects to transform primary school education, in order to equip children with more relevant life skills for our modern times. In this interview, Nik shares with us: 



  • what 21st century skills are and why developing them from a young age is so critical 

  • what the role of education should be and how the current model is failing our children

  • why it’s more difficult to teach 21st century skills than to teach for exams and grades

  • how he deals with both the inner and outer critics when embarking on such a major project

  • why he surrounds himself with supportive people who will critically question his choices
