Strive Lane - Developing Tomorrow's Leaders, Brisbane, QLD Videos

🔁 Students: "THE EDUCATION SYSTEM IS FAILING US!" On Friday 4th November, Izzy Garbutt MYP revealed what students REALLY think of our education system: She stood up bravely and recited to the entire Youth Parliament the quadratic equation. In a classroom, Izzy would have been applauded for her perfect recital. However, the Members of the Youth Parliament were applauding something far more special by the end of her speech. Izzy tragically admits that she: • "Can't maintain a good mental health" • "Has no idea how to pay tax" • "Has no idea what she wants to be when she's older" Something almost every student can relate to. So why on earth are we still pushing our youth through the same 'never-ending conveyor belt of academic testing'? Students today are put under more pressure than ever to memorize an expanding curriculum... And base their entire self-worth upon their examination results. It's time we started treating our children as people. And create an education system that prepares them for the real world... NOT treat them like an A*-C percentage, or pass/fail. 🎥 Simon Squibb 🤝🫡 #education #youngleaders

🙌 Go Em! 👏👏👏 What a wonderful story showcasing Emma’s entrepreneurial journey and the unconditional support of mum Joanne Lynam. We hope the doco series inspires more people to engage in solutions of including people with disabilities for their unique abilities and make them feel valued in our spaces. Makes us appreciate all people and the significant work of servant-leaders in this space like Towards Better. We all can play a part! Have a great weekend everyone 😊 #inclusion #InclusiveEducation
