Will it work? Lots of hurdles. The university wanted to open in 2020 but did not get regulatory approval. Aiming for 2021. Faculty have flocked to sign up (>600 applications for first 6 spots), student interest: 300 kids applied for 100 places

It captures the zeitgeist (21st century skills!) but also acknowledges false dichotomies in ed: students need skills AND knowledge, student agency is important BUT professors should design curriculum; employers have insights but should not be in charge of education.

Big q: Will it be rigorous enough? says yes. “It’s academics who think you need 24 modules in one discipline to be a proper graduate. Kids are like, ‘not so much, I will take what I need but complement it and enrich it’.“
