What happens when there simply aren't enough children to fill classrooms?

The future of education isn't coming—it's already here.

In Part 1 of this eye-opening conversation, Mike sits down with educator and entrepreneur Luana Borges to explore one of the biggest challenges facing education worldwide: declining birth rates.

From China's rapidly changing education landscape to school closures, demographic shifts, changing family values, and the economic realities behind the global baby bust, this episode reveals why educators, school leaders, policymakers, and parents should be paying attention now—not ten years from now.

Inside this episode:

• Why birth rates are collapsing worldwide

• China's education system as a preview of the future

• Why schools are already competing for fewer students

• How declining enrollment is changing the teaching profession

• The economic forces driving educational transformation

• Why the next decade could redefine education forever

Whether you're a teacher, school owner, policymaker, parent, or language educator, this conversation offers valuable insights into the future of our profession.
