    Youngsters will not be taught in formal classes, nor will they stick to a rigid timetable; instead they will work online at their own speeds on programmes that are tailor-made to match their interests.

  A school district in the UK is closing their secondary schools and replacing them with learning centers where students can learn independently. It's hard to tell exactly how this will work from the brief article, but it's an interesting concept. It appears that teachers will give daily assignments but that students will have individualized education paths and will be able to work on projects without a given schedule.
