Reinventing education in Ghana/Africa ~ Mr Joel Degue writes.

“A country’s competitiveness starts not on the factory floor or in the engineering lab. It starts in the classroom.” Lee Iacocca, former Ford Manager and later Chrysler President.*

The world is becoming a small place, a very competitive place. Will your child have the skill set to compete and fit into that place called “tomorrow?”

Life is a creative training.

Today, the old school rules and teaching methodologies no longer apply. The three Rs (Reading, wRriting and aRithmetic) while skill relevant, no longer guarantee entry into the middle class. The college degree once so desirable only gets a foot in the door. Today, there is an urgent call to make children very creative, innovative, intuitive and imaginative in order to make them competitive and fit into the global order. The global competition in higher now than ever.

PREPARE YOUR CHILD FOR TOMORROW, NOT FOR EXAMS.

“The philosophy of the classroom in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next.” Abraham Lincoln.

Don’t deny your children an opportunity of a lifetime. Today’s children are tomorrow’s leaders. Those in school today are surely going to be tomorrow’s human capital. That is the very reason why we need to give today’s children the type of education that will make them fit for tomorrow’s challenges. That is why we need different approaches and methodologies in teaching today’s children in our schools.

Unfortunately, much has not changed in pedagogy today. But, thank God we have found a way out in the following three great books titled:

1. LEARNING STYLES,

2. STUDY SKILLS, AND

3. EXAMINATION TECHNIQUES.

"If we teach today’s children as we taught yesterday’s, we rob them of tomorrow." John Dewey.
