This article resonates with me - aligned with many of the principles we work to at Whitefield Primary School - Be here, Be you, Belong means that we want all of our Whitefield family to be able to be with us. Mistakes in behaviour, like with curriculum work, are a learning opportunity. https://lnkd.in/eu2xQamt

Education is the fuel to empower change and foster opportunity.

Yesterday, I attended a workshop at Leeds Trinity University focused on integrating the principles of social justice into our curricula. In this light, I’m reaching out to my global network to share insights. How do you address social justice within your curriculum? What challenges have you faced, and what successes can you share? I look forward to your thoughts and learning from your experiences. #EducationForAll #SocialJusticeInEducation #GlobalEducation #LoveLTU

Is this the future of education? Would you consider enrolling your child in a SLANT-based school? Advocates of no-excuses policies in schools argue that progressive, child-centered approaches that spread in the 1970s caused a behavioral crisis, reduced learning, and hindered social mobility. The policy is called “Slant” (Sit up, Lean forward, Ask and answer questions, Nod your head, and Track the speaker). The argument in favor of SLANT? Wealthy children can afford to waste time at school because “their parents take them to museums and art galleries,” In contrast, for children from poorer backgrounds, “the only way you’re going to know about some Roman history is if you’re in your school learning.” Should we instead advocate for a balanced approach that offers all children, regardless of their economic status, access to an environment that fosters discipline alongside creativity and freedom? #FutureOfEducation #SLANTSchool #NoExcusesPolicy #DisciplineInSchools #CreativityInEducation #EducationalReform #HolisticDevelopment

THIS IS LAST HOPE FOR GAZA In the name of humanity to whosoever this post reaches should sent this post to P.M. and President of his country and also to news papers and TV's. After thorough analysis I realised that there are two basic and fundamental structural defects in the constitution of UN which are 1. Veto Power System for the permanent members of the security council of UN. Since there is a body of all stakeholders in the form of General Assembly wherein all member- countries of the UN are represented there is absolutely no need of Security Council to accept or reject the resolutions passed by General Assembly. As such Security Council should be dissolved forthwith. 2. All member countries of UN are not signatory to the Rome statute consequently some countries are not under the International Criminal Court (ICC) whereas all the member countries have to be under the jurisdiction of ICC so that peace prevails in the world. . Due to these defects America has made a mockery of the UN as it is reduced to a puppet in the hands of the America. Consequently America with some allies have invaded several Muslim countries like Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya and looted these countries then leaving these countries after the loot is complete. Presently America with the help of Israel (both countries are not under the jurisdiction of ICC) is demolishing, cold blooded mass murders, devastation, destruction , displacement, ethenic cleansing, murder especially of children and women and genocide and the whole world including the UN have to be mute spectators of all this and nobody has the powers to question them because of these defects in the constitution of UN. More than seven decades have passed by but the above-mentioned defects in the constitution of UN were not rectified. Non-rectification of these defects has created a very grave situation as instead of peace maintaining organisation UN became a weapon of blackmailing and means of invading and looting the rich countries by some countries which were having the veto power also besides these countries were not signatory to the Rome statute consequently these countries were not under the jurisdiction of ICC. As the result these countries became law per se and virtually became terrorist countries of the world because they were not answerable to any forum for whatever they do. They invaded and looted several countries so much so they created terrorist groups also. Now the climax of lawlessness has reached in Palestine where total devastation, destruction, cold blooded mass murders, genocide, ethenic cleansing, kidnapping and rape of innocent and unarmed civilians is being done and the whole world including UN have to be mute spectators because of the basic and fundamental defects in the constitution of UN have not been rectified. This is the highest time these defects are rectified by the General Assembly. Let General Assembly wake up after decades of slumber and rectify the defects as proposed above..

The chosen theme for this year, "Learning for Lasting Peace," holds profound significance in the face of an escalating surge in violent conflicts, harassment, and discrimination across the globe. In these challenging times, the mission to propel peace and development through education takes on an even greater urgency. Let us unite in our commitment to fostering a world where knowledge becomes a powerful instrument for positive change. In the pursuit of lasting peace, let our collective dedication to learning serve as a beacon, inspiring hope, understanding, and progress in the face of adversity. Together, through the transformative power of education, we can build a future defined by harmony and unity. #thecareercentre #behappy #InternationalDayOfEducation #educationforchange #positivetransformation #peaceanddevelopment #collectivecommitment #inspirehope #buildingafuture #knowledgeforprogress
