                                                                          Through the Past









                inspiring ideas to challenge the current school system.
                In his book The One World Schoolhouse: Education

                Reimagined, he shared several ideas, including:
                •    Student-oriented: Let children learn at their own pace
                    regardless of their age, they can also study at home or

                    at any time that they think appropriate, then bring the
                    questions and homework to the classroom to discuss
                    with teachers and classmates.
                •   Floating  summer  vacation:  Summer vacation “robs
                    students of momentum and causes unlearning,”

                    according to Khan. Instead, saving vacations for later                 073
                    use (like adults take annual leave). Since students work
                    on their own pace, taking vacation at different times

                    will not disrupt their learning.
                •   Learning from work: To learn in real life is an important
                    part of learning. Schools should work with different
                    organisations to seek these internship opportunities.



                However, the Finnish education reform provides a lesson.
                To realise this ideal of independent learning, we need the
                effective coordination of resources, supporting facilities,

                families, and schools, it is an arduous challenge.
