EDGE Townsend Lecture from Jason Newman

Our first Sixth Form led Townsend Lecture of the year will be next Tuesday 15 September and is open to parents. Our speaker Jason Newman leads global commercial and marketing functions, helping universities, students, and employers connect through data-driven insights and partnerships, and brings over 30 years in international higher education, much of it working closely with institutions in Australia and New Zealand. Outside of work, Jason is a hobby farmer and produce grower and an active fundraiser for his local hospice in Kent. 

Join us to hear Jason’s insight on university rankings, international education, and Quacquarelli Symond’s newly developed World Future Skills Index, along with QS’s predictions on AI’s impact on jobs, particularly the distinction between augmentation and automation.
