Changes in Structures and Practices of Education
Happy Earth 2020
Dear Son,
I hope this video message finds you well,
Congratulations on your graduation’s project that has been published recently by UNESCO as a road map to have our planet free of Carbon monoxide by 2025. You are lucky with your current education system as it is totally different from our old education system in 2011, with youth people manage the new education system with their creative and innovative ideas. You are lucky in having free education from K1 to Master and Doctorate degrees, to live in a planet that recognizes educators as superstars. You are lucky to have education system that permits students from different continental to study in one global system (I know that you had to wake-up early to catch the 7:00AM jet from UAE to arrive UK by 7:30AM, otherwise you watch it online). You are lucky to have curriculum that focus on deep understanding (not memorizing) with its project/research based concepts, curriculum that can be transferred to any format you want. You are lucky to have learning environment that you can participate in its designing and not the ice cube model that we had in 2011. You are lucky to have students communities involved in governmental activities and decisions making, involved in social activities, involved in politics, and involved in charity activities. You are lucky to live in a planet that uses dialogue instead of war to solve a problem; one hand world against poverty and climate change.
This was my dream ten years back and I am happy to see it.
Your Father

ReplyDeleteI like the way you are writing this as a message to your son in the future! And I hope from my heart that your vision for the future comes true! It seems so self-evident that this is indeed how it should be - why has it been so hard for us to achieve it!
