What if your friends told you that a new writers' circle had opened in your neighborhood mosque, that he had enrolled his son in it, and that he found it very effective?
Would you consider that crazy?
Didn't this type of educational circles at one time in our history provide scholars and thinkers who made the civilization of the nation and of whom we are still proud? Then they ended and disappeared because they were no longer compatible with the changing times and eras, and were replaced by the traditional school, with its fixed-system classes and directed teaching method, which continues to this day. It also produced scholars and thinkers, but it transferred from the writers our values, our constants, and the landmarks of our civilization.
Don't you agree that time has moved forward rapidly and generations have changed? It's time to change these rigid ways and come up with new methods that are in line with the successive cognitive revolutions, rapid technological development, and the requirements of future jobs.
Shouldn't we take all of this into account when designing schools that meet the needs of the present and the needs of the future?
It's time to shift education from an information-centric approach to one that focuses on the learner, taking into account their interests and developing their abilities. Instead of focusing solely on the amount of information we impart to them through traditional curricula, we should focus on preparing individuals who are capable of interacting with the digital world and programming the machines that will surround them everywhere. Most importantly, we should provide them with values and ethics that must be reshaped to suit their time and not disappear with the disappearance of traditional educational methods, but rather be transformed, developed, and reformulated.
Let us give the child the greatest role in education, to provide him with new skills and values that he will need in the next life, in which we may not be with him. Let us move education from the pole of the teacher, the sole possessor of knowledge, and make the learner capable of searching for knowledge, classifying it, employing it, and investing it, to serve his religion, nation, and civilization.
