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Facing the outdated 300 year old conventional educational system, the Global South, with the majority of the largest youth population in history of 1.2 billion students, is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.
Transforming Education Blueprint:
A Pathway to National Transformation
The Transforming Education Blueprint presents a comprehensive framework for national transformation through education that cultivates character, moral leadership, and innovation. Grounded in the belief that education must develop the whole person, spiritually, emotionally, physically, and intellectually, it outlines ten actionable strategies across two pillars: Foundations for Meaningful Transformation and Catalysts for Innovation. These strategies address critical needs such as strengthening families, building virtuous citizens, reimagining learning systems, and ethically applying AI. With global case studies and practical models, the Blueprint equips educators, policymakers, and leaders to create forward-looking systems that prepare individuals not just to succeed, but to contribute to a peaceful, prosperous, and resilient society.
