A big-picture examination of the evolution of education that reveals the serious failures of modern mainstream schooling and presents a compelling vision for better schools and a better future.
Since the dawn of humanity, the spark of education has lit the fire of "progress." With our unique ability to learn, we have conquered the animal kingdom, harnessed the power of electricity, and deciphered the secrets of the atom.
Yet, for all of this progress, we find ourselves facing a troubling future--from rising global unrest and hopelessness to the specter of deepening inequality to the potential existential threats of climate change and artificial intelligence.
Our schools are ideally positioned at the intersection of our social, political, economic, cultural, and personal aspirations to address these challenges. But they have struggled for generations to even deliver on the three Rs--let alone prepare children to be global changemakers.
In Education Empowered, Sankalpa Academy founder Srinivas Jallepalli exposes the risks of the cookie-cutter, factory-style model of education that has failed to promote both individual as well as collective well-being. Drawing from science, history, and philosophy, this book puts forth a deeply researched blueprint for a revolutionary educational paradigm that:
Reconnects us to our biological origins and the way our brains learn
Anchors the growth experiences on a bedrock of relationships and purpose
Embraces a holistic approach that caters to the physical, mental, and emotional needs of the whole child
Pursues individual and collective well-being and fulfillment through meaningful engagement and transferable skills
In the tradition of Yuval Noah Harari's Sapiens and John Taylor Gatto's Dumbing Us Down, this provocative and insightful book asks and answers the big questions of humanity and shows us how educators, parents, and policymakers can forge a better future.
