À propos de cet ebook

‎‘Knowledge is Power’ – a statement commonly attributed to an eminent English philosopher and ‎scientist in 1597, still highlights today the importance of knowledge in the modern world. Education ‎forms the basis of our knowledge and its development, from our earliest experiences at school through ‎to Higher Education. Individuals use their knowledge in their professional and personal lives, and ‎society as a collective of individuals shapes the world in which we live. Therefore, the power of ‎education is one of the keys to developing a successful society and benefits humanity at large. But ‎things have gone very wrong! Society, values and morals are all in decline. How has education lost its ‎power to build an effective and fair society? How can this decline be reversed? In The Power of ‎Education, the author goes back to first principles and asks: what is education, and what do individuals ‎and society need from education? Reconnecting education with the ‘heart and soul’ of humanity and ‎finding that great purpose of mankind is paramount. This is distinct from a ‘knowledge factory’ that ‎merely develops individuals for material advancement and personal progression. Values, morals, ‎compassion, empathy, gratitude, mutual respect, fairness and social responsibility are all essential traits ‎for individuals that collectively form a successful society, and these traits need to be instilled during the ‎entire educational experience. By rethinking and developing an effective education methodology one ‎can work towards building a better world, based upon equality and fairness for all.‎
