The Regurgitation of Emotive Illustrations

A MILLION DOLLAR DEAL

We need to adopt a thinking culture now. Why? Because our government is spending millions implementing new strategies to transform our schools into what they perceive as 'thinking organisations'.

Cool huh?

So what exactly is a thinking school? It is actually a school that infuses the passion of learning into the students and creates the ideology of teaching as a learning profession in the teachers.

The world is rapidly changing. Thus, it is critical for us to adopt to changes constantly. The future economy of Singapore will be both information and knowledge intensive. To be critical, creative, being adaptable and practising life-long learning are ways to prepare us for the fight in the near future.

Bottomline is how do we create a thinking culture.

The most probable thing that can propel the creation of a thinking culture in schools is the revolution in the culture of the teaching profession.

What do I mean?

Well, it simply means that the educators are to set themselves as role models to be thinking individuals.

It will take ages to create a thinking culture. It does not only involves the entire school, but also the society. Eventually, a thinking culture has to involve the whole nation.

A culture is created when a way of life is pursued. When there are more people involved, the stronger will a culture be.
