In this enlightening episode, we delve into a recent Microsoft study revealing a concerning gap in modern education. According to the study, just over half of teachers (52%) believe that students are being taught with methods that align with the skills needed for their future. A significant 79% of educators underscore the importance of data literacy and digital citizenship for today's learners.
