Teaching secondary school students about the most pressing issues for humanity’s long-term future
Values and Reflective Processes, Effective Altruism
Secondary education focuses mostly on the past and present, and tends not to address the most pressing issues for humanity’s long-term future. I would like to see textbooks, courses, and/or curriculum reform that promote evidence-based and thoughtful discourse about the major threats facing the long-term future of humanity. Secondary school students are a promising group for such outreach and education because they have their whole careers ahead of them, and numerous studies have shown that they care about the future. This may serve a significant benefit in making more young people care about these issues and support them with either their time or money
