The motivation of educaiton should be public!
The word 'education' inherits the spirit of real education. The Latin word 'ēducātiō ' (A breeding, a bringing up, a rearing) came from ēdūcō (“I educate, I train”) which is related to the homonym ēdūcō (“I lead forth, I take out; I raise up, I erect”) from ē- (“from, out of”) and dūcō (“I lead, I conduct”). So to lead, to contact, to train, to develop person should be first public minded that selfless. The education need to set up the mission that all students can overcome the selfishness! Selfishness is a roots of all conflict, unrest and suffering in…

Schools and other education institutions should be guided by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child
The Convention on the Rights of the Child is the most comprehensive and widely accepted global agreement on how children should be protected, provided to, and included within broader society. Any institution that has influence on the lives of children should be guided by a framework that respects and includes children's perspectives, opinions and ideas. It all begins with respecting human rights.

Motivating teachers to give off their best to students
Teachers across the globe should be motivated as doctors and other professions. They must be given the necessary tools needed, with this even if posted to rural areas, they will feel happy to go there and teach.
Another aspect too is in-service training for teachers; They need to be trained on the job as new students with different perspectives enter in school year after year with it attendant wide range of sophistication and technology. If teachers are not abreast with changes in technology, they will always be undermined.

Helping young minds to understand the value of living without any boundaries in this new world
Sharing good things about different cultures. Giving students role models from all over the world not only from their own country. Helping them to find common things among them and people of other countries. Helping them to communicate with people from all over the world through video chats and conferences (if not possible to meet directly). Teach them to love common things but always respect the differences because nothing is good or bad, it is only the perception. Organize events(dress competitions, discussions, food festivals, art competitions, skits) and quiz about different cultures and traditions.

Don't let school's canteen sells more food with styrofoam!
There are some schools in my country, especially my school, its canteen sells more food with styrofoam than food packed in healthy way. In fact, styrofoam has been the most dangerous litter because it contains a substance that can produce cancers virus. Besides, it is also the kind of litter that cannot be recycled for a very long time. And it makes the students hard to live in healthy and green way.

Future friendly school should be based on practical work.
Based on social and moral values, today we are unable to provide moral education in the school. Present education is becoming on the basis of grade. No body thinking about values, students should learn all human values which is more important for overall development.

Global citizenship should include teaching our next generation that war does not "serve any nation" or it's people.
USA in particular, now ranks #88 in Global peace due to its ongoing and unsustainable practice of aggressive foreign policy, which has nothing in reality to do with protecting "freedom and security". It's about oil, arms sales, global "power", all drastically undermining the principals of environmental stewardship, student voice and basic human rights, and global citizenship. We need to stop extolling "virtue" over violence, weapons and killing. It's the number one factor driving shootings in places like an elementary school to begin with!

School & Jail
School & Jail are the only two places on the earth where we don't prefer to go by choice. Rather, we are forced to enroll. Think of this seriously. Look at the innocent faces of children while entering the school and while leaving the school. Difference can't go unnoticed. Why children clap their hands with joy when holiday gets announced. What are those things for which children refuse to go to school? Why they sometimes play tricks to bunk off the school? Why children impatiently wait for Sunday to come? How many children will prefer to go to school themselves…

Strong ties to local farms and Community Supported Agriculture
CSA is a growing movement in the U.S. that encourages the investment of communities in local farms as well as local farms in their communities. The basic economic model is such that consumers buy shares at the beginning of the season that meet the budget determined by the farm. In return, the members receive weekly distributions of the seasonal produce as they come available for harvest. This way the farmer can focus on growing food of the highest quality by sustainable means in the interest of building community, rather than planting monocultures of cash crops for profit, without consideration of…
