Education systems don’t make grades, quality & motivated teachers do- UN chief
The UN chief, António Guterres disclosed at the 2022 #TransformingEducation Summit that the Education systems today simply don’t make the grade.
The outcomes of education systems globally have become a pale shadow of themselves, as they produce graduates without skills, graduates without the needed technical know-how needed to deal with the world’s problems. In many instances across the world, education continues to create unemployable graduates.
Whiles speaking that the #TransformingEducation Summit, the UN Secretary-General called on world leaders to “find & support solutions to ensure everyone can learn, thrive & dream throughout their lives.”
Thus, leaders of nations must put in place systems that provide productive education which creates employable skills in the manpower to emanate from their education systems.
While speaking on the final day of the Transforming Education Summit, he warned that the world was in “a deep crisis” if education fails to be the game changer.
“I regard myself as a lifelong student… Without education, where would I be? Where would any of us be?”, he asked those gathered in the iconic Generally Assembly Hall. Because education transforms lives, economies, and societies, “we must transform education” He said.
This calls for the use of Digital Technologies to transform education systems, education quality, teaching quality, and learning environments and processes through technology.
The days of chalk and blackboard, marker and whiteboards, theory without practice, and the use of old-fashioned teaching approaches are over and gone.
