The quality of learning indicates the effectiveness of teaching
The Future of Education
There are clear indications that class size is not a major factor in the effectiveness of students' learning.
Nevertheless, teachers' characteristics do not contain the magic either.
Therefore, the efforts of politicians to migrate professionals from other disciplines – may not provide the results they are aiming at.
A major change in the structure of the learning process / setting / context / supervision – surviving for so many years (for the wrong reasons) is what we really need.
It shouldn't cost more money, maybe less.. It needs decision makers that are not committed to a wrong agenda – while dealing with our far future.
An analysis of the current situation and recommendation for a substantially different system will be offered in the near future.
