The approach to academic education that is currently being utilized is becoming increasingly outdated and is not effectively engaging students in a way that truly prepares them for the real world. Instead of reasoning, children are taught to memorize, instead of explaining, children are taught to agree because "I said so", instead of allowing choice, adults make choices for children. This approach stifles creativity and imagination, and does not equip students with the necessary skills to be successful in the future
Over the last decade, we have seen a shift in the education system, with new-format companies and schools emerging that are redefining their approach to learning and teaching children differently. Empathy, emotional intelligence, and critical thinking are becoming key skills not only for adults, but for children and adolescents as well. Interactive online platforms, freedom of self-expression, and a lack of judgment when learning new material are all contributing to a far more valuable skillset in children than memorizing historical dates and poems
We at Kidspace Indonesia team are not attempting to revolutionize the entire education system, we don't have the goal of becoming a global game-changer, we still believe in the effectiveness of offline education. Our goal is to create a tool that will allow private teachers, schools and additional course providers in Indonesia to make themselves known, to look at what and how others are doing. We want to share our vision, best practices and help them elevate their teaching methods to the next level.
