At the same time, the returns to education are high in most developing countries, and growing skill premiums are evident in much of the world. Automation simultaneously results in deskilling
and imposes a need for new skills, and is changing what education will need to look like in the future.

In my talk, I will criticize the approaches of van Manen, Smith and Giorgi, and propose some alternative strategies.
