There is no dispute as to the importance of education, it is the single most powerful tool in the world to eliminate poverty, stamp out corruption and to raise the standard of living globally.
Yet the model for modern education was formulated over 100 years ago and based on a factory production floor. It was designed to control students more that to inspire and challenge them to greatness, those that truly excelled did so despite this model rather than because of it.
In a few countries education is cutting edge yet most of the world is playing catch-up to the changes brought on by technology and geopolitical issues.
Even greater is the challenge of adapting to the changing skill sets of students and the fact that they are developing different skills at a much faster pace than past generations ever hoped for.
In fact the generational gap between students is shrinking to the point where the mere thought of a “generation” will possibly become obsolete within the next 5-10 years and we as educators must be ready to adapt to this change among the many that we will be faced with within the next decade.
The continued evolution of education will determine the future development of children around the world and will be directly related to the recovery of the financial markets, global economy and spreading of peace.
Rogers English Consultants work with schools around the world to help prepare for these changes as well as on how to implement new strategies and creating 21st century teaching methods for a stronger, more effective educational experience for students.
