=====Key Insights=====
The report explores three educational scenarios for the future, drawing from sociology of knowledge to critique current educational policies and practices. It argues against the notion that schools should merely adapt to societal changes without considering the conservative nature of educational institutions and the transmission of knowledge. The authors propose a social realist approach, emphasizing the importance of disciplinary knowledge and the role of educational institutions in its transmission. They critique both the traditional elite education system (Future 1) and progressive pedagogies that downplay content and expertise (Future 2), advocating for a balanced approach (Future 3) that recognizes the differentiated nature of knowledge and the need for strong disciplinary boundaries.  \\
