This week I'm joined by Yong Zhao, an unconventional thinker who’s never been afraid to challenge the status quo in education. We talk about his journey from a small village in China to becoming one of the most important voices in global education reform.

Yong shares powerful ideas about what’s not working, like our obsession with standardized testing and rigid definitions of merit, and what we could be doing instead. We dig into why student-centered learning matters, how creativity and confidence are just as important as content, and how AI might actually help make learning more personalized and accessible.

This one’s full of bold insights and fresh thinking about what school could be.
