As technology continues to transform the world around us, education must evolve alongside it. In a recent interview for Forbes Czech Republic, David Lawlor, Acting Principal of Prague British International School (PBIS), shares his perspective on how schools can prepare young people not only for today's opportunities, but also for the challenges and careers of tomorrow.

Modern education goes far beyond the transfer of knowledge. In a world where information is instantly accessible, students need to develop the ability to evaluate sources, think critically, solve complex problems, and adapt to constant change.

At PBIS, these skills are embedded throughout the learning experience, alongside a strong focus on emotional intelligence, collaboration, and global awareness.
