How can we improve the Spanish Educational paradigm?
Although in Spain Education does not enjoy an important role for society💩, as many laws have shown, we strongly believe that it is one of the most important pillars of society. It contributes to the promotion of critical thinking 🤔 as well as many other skills which will help students to become efficient citizens of the world. 🌍Many aspects of today’s educational system in Spain should be changed. Among them are, for instance, the teacher-centered model followed in the classroom throughout the last decades; the traditional way in which state exams for teachers are carried out towards a much more practical rather than theoretical approach; a better teacher training📚, taking into account catering for diversity👫, problem solving💡, the use of ICTs💻, etc; encouraging collaborative projects among students as well as using methodologies in order to foster creativity🎨.

Hi Angels (and Cristian), nice reflection on how we can improve the Spanish educational paradigm. We, as you, think that they way lessons are presented in Spain should change. More student centered and less teacher centered. The way we are evaluated should change too, we have too many theoretical exams and we should work more on the practical aspects as well as on the moral and emotional side of education.

Hello, guys! I liked how you reflected on how motivation and creating engaging lessons might help us change the rigid system we have all suffered. Moreover, I think this change needs to happen in all social classes, making good education a more accessible and fair tool for social change.
