In 2013 I wrote a book called Seven Myths about Education.

What is the most persistent myth, the one that is hardest to kill, and the one that has biggest implications outside education?

Transferable skills.

People think that you can teach things like critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving, etc. But you can't.

But the idea is so persistent not just in schools but in universities, the corporate world and the British civil service.

Over the next few weeks, I will have a series of articles about it on my Substack. You can read the intro here and listen to me talking about it tomorrow on the @EconTalker podcast.

Technology is banned in chess matches but players can still use it when they train.

Paradoxically, the ban makes it easier to use technology to help you learn.

We should copy this in education - banning technology in exams will promote better use of it in the classroom.

Latest on our Substack - what education can learn from chess.
