Session: The New Face of Education
The educational revolution has been long time coming. And it is very clear that the one size fits all boxed thinking does not really work. The only way you can truly reimagine education is if you redefine the parameters of assessment.
Everyone wants out of the box thinking but even that statement usually gives free reign within an already parameterized and perimeterized box - it is literally oxymoronic!
There are multiple angles in which education can be reimagined but I will highlight three key aspects from my experience that can lead to holistic development.
