The Future of Education - in North Louisiana?

This week on the Founders Show, Hy and Christopher take a deep dive into the future of education.
Several Louisiana school districts have been experimenting with the International Baccalaureate (IB) Program. Pass the BAC exam, and virtually any university on the planet will throw open its doors. Currently, 5800 schools worldwide use IB’s curriculum.
For the first time in history, a school is being created—in Monroe—with the IB program installed from its very beginning. Consequently, the eyes of the educational world are on Louisiana, and Hy and Christopher are joined by IB Director General Olli-Pekka Heinonen for the full hour to speak about the potential and this landmark moment.
Heinonen Earned a Master of Laws (LL.M.) from the University of Helsinki in 1990. Globally recognized as a leader in education, He brings a wealth of experience and knowledge of educational systems development and innovation to the IB.
Between 2016–2021, Olli-Pekka Heinonen served as the Director General of the Finnish National Agency for Education. The core tasks of the Agency include developing education and training, early childhood education and lifelong learning. The Agency also prepares education policy decisions and supports the development and promotion of internationalization within the Finnish education system. Prior to leading the National Agency for Education, Heinonen held various positions in the Finnish Government, including State Secretary between 2012–2016 and Minister of Education and Science between 1994–1999. He also held various senior commercial roles in the Finnish National Broadcasting Company between 2002–2012.
As IB’s website notes, “Olli-Pekka is actively engaged with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and other international organizations, where he contributes views on the future of education, including personalized and lifelong learning, the impact of technology and the development of educators. He is also a regular speaker in global educational forums.”
“His vision for global education is strongly aligned with the vision and values of the IB. He brings broad leadership and team-building experience and a focus on developing organizations to operate effectively in a rapidly changing environment.”
