In the Tailored Learning, Tailored Life scenario we find that technology has changed significantly the way education is delivered and the way that children learn. Governments no longer control the schooling or education system, but children do not lead the learning process themselves. Their learning is highly individualised and tailored to their specific talents, circumstances and interests. The tailored learning content is predominantly developed by parents and private tutors or mentors. We witness an increasing role of the private sector in contributing to educational content, while the government's influence and contribution is greatly reduced. Education and social interaction became completely separated whilst the latter relied on special interest groups or sports clubs and events. <br> | In the Tailored Learning, Tailored Life scenario we find that technology has changed significantly the way education is delivered and the way that children learn.

In 2010 some had predicted it but few really expected it. After a partial recovery from the great recession that had started at the end of 2007, confidence indicators were showing that recovery was a reality. However, it did not last very long. Only when [http://www.scenariothinking.org/wiki/index.php/Impact_of_the_European_sovereign_debt_crisis_on_education_spending EU government stimulus measures had run their course] did people realize that the recovery in Europe was superficial and not sustainable. That resulted in a double dip recession and led to the first depression of the 21st century. <br> | In 2010 some had predicted it but few really expected it.
