Wishes and expectations for education in 2024

SYSTEMS THINKING IS NEEDED IN SCHOOL OPERATIONS

In the process of self-adjustment to improve and meet professional requirements, teachers face many difficulties. They experience pressure from life due to inadequate working conditions and income, which prevents them from focusing on their profession. On the other hand, each school faces numerous obstacles from its operational realities. Even without considering factors such as infrastructure, finances, and the environment, the human element itself creates many barriers. This is because some education administrators, some job positions, and some workers in the education sector still lack the correct and consistent understanding, and are not yet ready for a unified approach to change.

For example, regarding digital skills, although teachers receive basic training, they lack the habit of using them regularly, and do not have the necessary infrastructure, data, and requirements to implement them systematically. Therefore, the majority of teachers are unable to master teaching and assessing learners using technology. At the same time, today's context requires integrated and synchronized work. If done in a fragmented manner, it will lead to an overload of teachers' workload and fail to address the issues correctly, resulting in misunderstandings.

From research and practical implementation in several localities and schools, we recognize the need for a systems thinking approach and adjustments to school operating models, restructuring of work areas and school structures. It is essential to have a technology platform that integrates data for teaching and learning; regular assessment; and to consider technology as an indispensable part of every stage of the educational process.
