transforming education in the global south: Toward 2050

Facing the outdated 300 year old conventional educational system, the Global South, with the majority of the largest youth population in history of 1.2 billion students, is determining that they are an asset vs. a liability.

This necessitates transitioning to the true purpose and future of education: the character and holistic development of educators and students.

The Global South’s rich faith and wisdom traditions, strong extended family and community ties are key in shaping a global, values-centered future. The time to act is now – beginning with the transformation of educators. Educational stakeholders are already on the journey in creating model regions within nations, great educational institutions with transformative cultures as pathways for national transformation and a civilization of peace.
