RE-IMAGINING EDUCATION
As educators who have more than 20 years of experience in both private and government schools, we have become concerned and disillusioned by a number of issues, such as:
Traditional schooling is not meeting the needs of our children, as they focus on the curriculum and not the child.
Private schools are often profit-driven with hidden costs.
Class sizes are problematic.
Teachers are not equipped, experienced or qualified.
Too many children are being lost in these systems.
