Post-Covid Education

The American education system has only experienced one major change in its educational philosophy since its birth in the 17thcentury... For nearly two centuries education was focused on educating wealthy elites on religion and social statues. The Industrial Revolution of the 19thcentury caused a shock that shifted our paradigm away from religion and onto to common, state-sponsored curriculum made available to the masses. But in the two hundred years since then, American educational philosophy hasn’t changed much... so isn’t it about time for another monumental change? Isn’t it time that we refocus educational philosophy to prepare students to meet the demands of the modern world? Education Expert, Ravi Hutheesing, author of PIVOT: Empowering Students Today to Succeed in an Unpredictable Tomorrow, and previous diplomate for the U.S. State Department joins us to discuss how COVID may be the turning point we all have been waiting for.
