Ep 5 - 'Alumnisation' culture + the future of Education

In this episode we dive into what 'Alumnisation' means (yes, we may have made up that word today @urbandictionary!) and how significantly it impacts society and culture.

We unpack the nuances of what alumni-conditioning does to generations of New Zealanders, and how this contrasts with the US, and its Higher Ed, Ivy League, or as some may say the 'caste system'. This chat digs into the contrast of operating globally where "no brain cell, no calorific energy is spent asking which high school you went to" and the harsh contrast in NZ where "it's just the thing Kiwis do". We share some personal experiences around the Alumnisation phenomenon and how profound these instances can be in our lives.

Forecasting forward, we talk about how COVID is rapidly changing the Education landscape, and what this means for this phenomenon. What does the future qualification look like, how will education be unbundled, and how egalitarian will it be?
