Summer School on Education: The Future of School

label Diverse autorenew 2025-09-29, 17:01 history_edu Ioana Dinescu
Innovation of education has become the key issue for many changing societies. It is painful to bring revolutionary decisions into education, because it challenges the traditional methods of teaching and learning, which have been for a long time taken for granted. Nevertheless, the revolutionary ideas of personification of education, promotion of diversity and creativity have been now heard more widely.

The "organic approach" to education is based on the assumption that the main purpose of education is to provide the conditions under which the individual talents and abilities will flourish. The issue here is to recognize these talents and indentify the conditions needed for their growth. In other words, the core of revolution in education is the introduction of new academic domains and innovative teaching tools.
