During her BBC panel talk, Anupama Vaid, Founder and President of ParentSquare shared how public education has evolved since the 19th century and the current transformations undergoing in education, “As schools and educators take the leap and make the organizational shift to bring about the change in how to impart learning, and what to teach, a simultaneous change is needed in the thinking about where learning happens to bring about a deeper systemic change.”
“Learning just like work, is not just a place you go to, learning is what you do, wherever you are, in and outside of school, and beyond the school for a lifetime,” added Anupama, explaining why school-home partnerships are more important than ever.
