Changes in Education
Changes in education are inevitable, although they often occur gradually. Despite this, some attempts at transformation have sought to accelerate the process through innovative strategies.
At a meeting in Madrid in 2011, the School 2.0 Program was discussed, which sought to provide hundreds of thousands of students and teachers with computers. Despite great expectations, these initiatives often generate unexpected problems that make it difficult to achieve the proposed goals.
The Transatlantic of Education
Catalonia’s education system is compared to an ocean liner, with a fixed route that can hardly be changed. This requires good information and anticipation to solve problems and stay on course.
The Catalan Education Law of 2009 seeks to guarantee the educational success of all students, but current data show that this goal is still a utopia.
The Road to Improvement
To address this situation, it is crucial to carry out a comprehensive analysis of the educational reality, identifying weaknesses, threats, strengths and opportunities. Based on this analysis, effective educational policies can be designed based on international experience, relevant research and the opinion of education professionals.
Countries such as Portugal have improved the quality of education through this approach, demonstrating that it is possible to achieve significant changes in student learning.
