Callum James, Founder of Zeal Movement and EventConnect

Third Millennium Education

Callum James is a music and events entrepreneur, Founder of Zeal Movement and Event Connect. We are going to hear from his rollercoaster experience in both life and education and stressing how personalized learning can benefit disruptive youngsters in many ways.

“Teachers were not prepared; they do not have time. For them, it is way easier to just take the disrupted kids out from the classroom, rather than focusing on what

could be the actual problem and how to resolve them.”

“Pupil referral units definitely provided much more support than mainstream schools, however, no one was learning anything.”

“Doing practical things rather than just sitting there and regurgitating information

benefited me much more than the theory side of things.”

“I got arrested for assault from age 13 and was sent to a young offenders

institute. Within that time where I actually benefited the most was from

counselling.”

“The main downfall of mainstream education is insufficient facilities and funds to

focus on young people that have underlying issues.”

“Mainstream education says that everyone learns differently, yet they teach everyone in the same way.”
