- Abstract
Education is ripe for innovation, but how do we scale successful models to prepare the majority, not a privileged few, for a rapidly transforming economy? We live in extraordinary times. We face an uncertain future, one filled with unprecedented social and environmental challenges. But it is also a time of untold opportunity if we can join together to meet those challenges. How can we best prepare future generations for what lies ahead? How can we help them experience on a visceral level that who they are and how they live matters? We can do this by cultivating a deep connection to, and responsibility for, self, humanity, and the planet. Every learner has the potential to know and fulfil their gifts and capacities, and to participate fully and joyfully in life. Our education system should tend each learner's seed of potential, at every stage, with all the necessary nutrients. This produces a vital, knowledgeable human being, centred in the heart and able to confidently meet life's challenges. This empirical paper proposes a Tripod model of humane education which creates a harmony of any leaner with inner self, outer environment and nature. It also tries to decipher the flaws in our modern systems of education across continents and proposes a roadmap to address the same.
