THE LIKELY DIRECTIONS OF FUTURE EDUCATION


PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION


Schools teach skills and subjects, but also help to form a person’s identity and help them develop skills to actively and successfully participate in society.

I believe that educations purpose is to provide and develop economic & social skills for students as well as content knowledge of subjects, in order to prepare them for adult life and the workforce.

As said by The CEO of The Curriculum Corporation, Bruce Wilson, “the task for the future is to deliver a high quality education to every child without exception.”

I consider that it is a hard task to provide an equal high quality of education to all students, as there is still a large gap between the public and the private school systems. I believe that factors such as a person’s class will also have an impact on students’ opportunities with education and that there will always be political forces that affect the way our education system operates.

I think that ICT is the way of the future and that this should and will be embraced by schools and teachers, so as to ensure that our future generations are up to date with technology, living in a digital world. This is an ongoing process and in years to come all students will have access to computers and high speed Internet, which will be used as a main source of learning and information. I believe that this form of education is motivating and engaging for students as it relates to the world that they live in now and can be used in all aspects of their lives. With the use of this technology I value that it is important for teachers to stay up to date with current trends in technology and believe that there will be more professional development provided towards teachers aimed at expanding and increasing their ICT skills to ensure teachers are helping guide students to reach their full potential.
