Abstract
This chapter revisits the CERI/OECD school education scenarios published in 2001. Given that the scenarios were developed to imagine learning systems 15–20 years from the date of their development, it is of interest to consider how they align with current conditions. The chapter considers the question, ‘What do learning systems look like in 2018, the period in which the OECD scenarios were positioned?’ Each of the original scenarios is examined to see if there are any features in their original descriptions that align with current contexts. The implications for teacher education are subsequently discussed. The chapter continues with a consideration of the current drivers prevalent in society. A new set of scenarios on schooling is developed, based on the original OECD scenarios. These scenarios take into account current and future drivers to imagine a new set of scenarios. The intention of these scenarios is to provoke debate about schooling and teacher education.
