Welcome to Second Rail, a platform dedicated to rethinking and reshaping education. Our three core goals anchor our mission:
Encourage Informed Dialogue: Education is a significant sector, valued at $1.3 trillion and making up about 9% of the GDP. Despite its importance, both K-12 and higher education face challenges. Second Rail, founded by John Heintz, aims to address these issues head-on. With a background spanning education, law, and management across various countries, John seeks practical solutions to improve learning globally.
Integrate Diverse Fields for a Clearer Vision: Education is interconnected with entrepreneurship, law, management, governance, technology, and leadership. Second Rail, led by John Heintz and supported by a team of experts, aims to bring these fields together. By cutting through the noise, we provide a more comprehensive and informed perspective on the future of education.
Drive Global Educational Improvement: Education is a universal endeavor that crosses geographic and cultural boundaries. At Second Rail, we believe in the power of collaboration and shared knowledge. Our goal is to use cross-disciplinary insights to make more informed and effective strides in education.
Second Rail is more than just a platform for identifying problems; it’s a catalyst for change. Through articles, podcasts, and discussions, we bring together educators, leaders, and change-makers to share knowledge and work on solutions.
We recognize that education doesn't exist in a vacuum. It's part of a larger ecosystem that includes economics, politics, human rights, and technology. At Second Rail, we take a holistic approach, considering all these factors in our discussions and writings.
