Student Voice is the impetus for tackling environmental and global issues
Student Voice must be the medium through which students from schools around the world tackle real world issues around environmental, political, and social issues pertaining to global citizenship. In the future, kids should collaborate and problem solve to come up with solutions to problems about which we oftentimes don't bother to ask them, but that affect them.

MUTUAL *********** WITH HISTORY
A NATIONAL RETREAT TO ENTER THE LIFE
OF OUR COLLECTIVE DESTINYHistory is generally understood by young people, as this boring academic chore required of them by the education system.
The intent and purpose of the curriculum in teaching history, is to cultivate the relevancy of the past to the present, thereby preparing students in what provides them with the awareness of continuity.
Because of such a low level of interest for history among students, a new approach could be tried. Instead of academically bringing the past to the present, why not equip each student with…1 vote -

Thou their teachers teach them about Africa, they are still confused about the negative information the media gives about Africa.

Environmental Sustainability and Fostering a Connection to the Environment
Future friendly schools should operate as environmentally-friendly places of discovery. Schools should follow the three "R"s as strictly as possible-- reduce, reuse, and recycle.
Students should be encouraged to form a close relationship with their natural environment. This provides young people with a sense of purpose, place, and stability, and helps them understand why it is so important to care for nature. Connections with nature have also been shown to increase mental health and improve performance in school.
Environmental education should also be included in the curriculum so that students can properly understand the issues facing our world.113 votes -

Allow students to develop as worldwide citizens of Earth
Schools and colleges should offer courses and classes that allow students to gain a better understanding of themselves in the world.

"Education for self-reliance"I think this will be helpful in eradicating unemployment problem and reduce rate of dependents.
Education should focus much on building student's creativities on solving existing problems facing society both in theory and practical.I always feels pains to see science students get access of laboratory while those who take arts subjects lacks ,the teachers should tells students particular art students where is their laboratory and of-course it is the community.
