The world of education is the throes of rethink and realignment. Much of the rethink is justified and imperative to keep education relevant and significant in a fast evolving world.
Some of the perplexing questions facing educators and educational organisations are:
- How do we define education?
- Should the focus be on learning or teaching?
- Will research-based pedagogical practices prepare the students to face and thrive in a competitive world?
- Does student-friendly learning have any place in a system where success is exclusively determined by standardised tests?
- Should schools mirror the society or reform it?
- What does it take for teachers to start perceiving themselves as professionals?
- What is the raison d’être of school and schooling ?
- Do the school owners, leaders, teachers, students and parents share a common vision of education?
- What do our teachers spend most of the time doing?
- Do are teachers feel supported and motivated?
- Are textbooks curriculum?
- Are we teaching the children or the textbook?
- How do we make change in education manageable and enjoyable for all stakeholders?
