10-year Edition of the WISE Summit to Take Place in Doha, Qatar, on November 19-21 2019

Over 2,000 educators, decision-makers, and experts from over 100
countries will gather in Doha next month around the theme "UnLearn,
ReLearn: What it means to be Human"

Doha, Qatar (ots/PRNewswire) - Should schools teach students how
to be happy? Will artificial intelligence make teachers obsolete? Can
the latest discoveries in neuroscience make our kids smarter? Do
students care about what they are learning? Should schools get rid of
grading systems? Should students pledge a percentage of their future
salary to fund their higher education?

These questions will be at the heart of the discussions at next
month's World Innovation Summit for Education
(https://www.wise-qatar.org/), where we will reimagine the future of
education around the theme "UnLearn, ReLearn: What it means to be
Human (https://www.wise-qatar.org/wise-2019/)".

In the context of a rapidly evolving world with exponential
technological changes, it's time to rethink what makes us uniquely
human. More than 200 speakers and 150 sessions will shape
conversations about the future of education and the behaviors, skills
and traits we must unlearn and relearn in order to flourish in the
21st century.

Stavros Yiannouka, WISE CEO, states: "In education, we naturally
focus on what we should learn. We also think there's an important
role to play in unlearning. We should challenge some of our
assumptions about the way we live, the way we work, and the way we
interact with each other."

From discussing how to relearn the emotional skills we need in
order to learn, to debating whether well-being should be taught in
schools, to uncovering global ed-tech trends and their impact on
innovation, WISE 2019 will address the pressing issues and current
trends facing education.
