Kuressaare Teater: “Do You Only Study for Grades?”

We all have knowledge that we worked hard to learn at school, but have never needed in real life. Most of it is forgotten for good soon after the test. The rapid development of artificial intelligence makes things even more complicated for both students and teachers. So what should we learn, and how, for it to be useful in the future? The lecture-performance “Do You Only Study for Grades?” is based on interviews with upper-secondary students from schools across Estonia. The performance features young people’s own thoughts on education and learning, supplemented by comments from school principals and education specialists. It also offers plenty of practical tips and methods for learning more effectively. There’s laughter, there’s food for thought—and you’ll certainly leave wiser.
