Entra e sair da crise pela porta da Educação

Não é só o nosso sistema económico que precisa de "reboote and upgrade", a chave está em fazer o mesmo aos sistemas educativos públicos. Precisamos não só de mais gente com mais nescolaridade, como de mais jovens e crianças com a educação CERTA!

Não basta melhorar os bancos, é essencial melhorar e consertar as escolas.

A Washington lawyer friend recently told me about layoffs at his firm. I asked him who was getting axed. He said it was interesting: lawyers who were used to just showing up and having work handed to them were the first to go because with the bursting of the credit bubble, that flow of work just isn’t there. But those who have the ability to imagine new services, new opportunities and new ways to recruit work were being retained. They are the new untouchables.

That is the key to understanding our full education challenge today. Those who are waiting for this recession to end so someone can again hand them work could have a long wait. Those with the imagination to make themselves untouchables — to invent smarter ways to do old jobs, energy-saving ways to provide new services, new ways to attract old customers or new ways to combine existing technologies — will thrive. Therefore, we not only need a higher percentage of our kids graduating from high school and college — more education — but we need more of them with the right education.

As Daniel Pink, the author of “A Whole New Mind,” puts it: In a world in which more and more average work can be done by a computer, robot or talented foreigner faster, cheaper “and just as well,” vanilla doesn’t cut it anymore. It’s all about what chocolate sauce, whipped cream and cherry you can put on top. So our schools have a doubly hard task now — not just improving reading, writing and arithmetic but entrepreneurship, innovation and creativity.

Nem tudo se resume a numeracia e literacia

A lot of people find themselves being creative despite their social standing.

You are the kid who is smart, so all your mates listen to your counsel.

You are the kid who is funny, so they look to you for a laugh.

You are the great dancer at the local disco.

You are the one who is good at building stuff.

You are the one who is been practising the guitar in your bedroom since you were nine.

You are the one who is good at problem solving.

I think it is a teacher’s job to spot these kids and give them a nudge in the right direction. Encourage the smart one to get smarter; encourage the funny one to read books, look at the history of comedy, organise his thoughts, write stuff down; encourage the dancer to practice, look at videos, see shows, etc.

I know there are some schools that do this, but there are a lot that don’t.

It is not just about numeracy and literacy… It’s about vigilance, kindness, empathy and creativity.
