Our school education system is archaic and out of touch. I’m not knocking our teachers. Teachers are expected to do so much with so little, and it’s not fair to them or the pupils. The curriculum is often outdated and doesn’t always cater to the individual needs of each student. There needs to be so much more investment in education, both in terms of funding and support for teachers to support each and every student in their class effectively. We need to modernise our school system, make it more flexible and adaptable to the needs of the 21st century. We need to prioritise the well-being and success of ALL our pupils - Inclusivity matters!! It’s time for a change, and it’s time to invest in the future of our children 🌎❤️✍🏻 #inclusivity #neurodivergence #everystudentmatters #support

Today we continue our Tell Your Story series with a focus on amplifying Student Voice through the lens of our next global standard for thriving: Strategy. Great schools understand the importance of honouring the new social contract of education – today’s learning for tomorrow’s world – by aligning all of their work towards the quality of the citizens who their educational programs will shape. If students are imbued with a deep understanding of how to balance the opportunities and obligations that arise from their mature membership of their communities, then schools will know that they have succeeded; schools exist not just to sustain themselves but to serve their communities. They model this service intentionally so that the voices of their students become the voices of true servants concerned for their: - Purpose, Commitment & Contribution: students generate a sense of purpose and connect this to their participation in the classroom, co-curricular activities and the wider life of the school. - Community, Inclusion & Citizenship: students have a circle of school friends from diverse backgrounds, perspectives and/or year groups. The hopes represented through these voices need to be influenced by a perspective that balances the local, regional and global communities in which students find themselves situated. In time, they need to be bolstered by capabilities in detailed planning and organisation that can turn aspiration into reality. #youmatter

How can education be a mechanism for positive change, not just within classrooms but across borders, impacting communities far and wide? This question lies at the heart of WorldEd Foundation's commitment to transformative education. Read more: https://lnkd.in/dcU3zrrd

In exploring the concept of educational pluralism, I found it compelling to consider how offering a diverse range of school types could better meet the varied needs of families; the idea of creating an inclusive system that reflects different values and pedagogies resonates with me. It made me think about how such a model could potentially transform education by offering more tailored learning experiences. But, I also see the challenges in implementation. https://lnkd.in/gbc5G3wQ #EducationalPluralism #SchoolChoice #InclusiveEducation

Today is World Read Aloud Day. LitWorld launched the first Read Aloud Day in 2010 to promote diverse voices and narratives around the world that became a global movement. Still, 6 out of 10 children and adolescents aren't learning a minimum in reading and math (based on World Literacy Foundation). Education is a human right and need to be accessible for every person.
