What kind of education can
help bring lasting change and solutions to real world problems? Past and
present systems of education have and are suffering from a lack of positive
results and limit access to the majority of the population of the world. The
high school drop out rate in fifty major inner cities in America is 51%. In
2005, 72 million primary age children in developing nations were not able to
attend school. These are not fruitful statistics.
Making education relevant to
the needs of the people is what the world needs today, and teaching people to
be problem solvers is what is relevant to the people. People need jobs. People
need to develop their ability to create solutions to problems. People do not
need more theory and unrealistic school fees. This is what I have found in my
travels and diverse teaching experiences. As Chancellor of Education
Development Worldwide for United Graduate College and Seminary Intl., a
Christian e-learning college and seminary that is pioneering on-line education
internationally, I see the need to bridge the gap between traditional education
and a new generation education that is relevant to the needs of the majority of
the people of the world.
A Biblical worldview is one
that teaches people how to help others. If people can discover the tools of how
to solve real problems, they will create peace and productivity in their homes,
their communities, their countries and the world. A Biblical Worldview teaches
that everyone is created with a purpose, and it is our vision at United
Graduate College and Seminary International to help people discover their
unique gifts. Through practical projects and creating programs based on the needs
of the people, United Graduate College and Seminary International teaches its
students how to think, not what to think.
