The Digital-First School: Building Future-Ready Learning Ecosystems

Education's Digital Imperative


In an era where 65% of today's primary students will work in jobs that don't yet exist, schools face a critical mandate: evolve or risk irrelevance. The traditional industrial model of education is giving way to dynamic, digitally-enabled learning ecosystems. At the forefront of this transformation is EdRuption, the pioneering education consultancy founded by EdTech visionary Philippa Wraithmell, specializing in school digital transformation services that marry innovation with educational integrity.
