Augar: Allow Transfer Of Qualifications From Fe To He

In the latest episode of the Tes International podcast, we chat with Douglas Kidd, director of curriculum X at International College Hong Kong, about the school’s Flexible Learning initiative, which sees students learning about a huge array of topics, from aliens and animals to podcasts, poetry and photography.

He explains how this came to life during the pandemic, how it complemented pupils’ remote learning - and why it carried on when school reconvened earlier this year.

We also discuss the logistic of getting something like this in motion and how it can evolve to become an integral part of school life. To see the images of the modules being discussed, click on this link.
