School education is very teacher-focused and not on the learner. Teachers are trained to manage, control and spoon feed learners with information with the plan for them to reach targets matching criteria in the education system. Learner-centred approaches are lacking which is leading to many issues such as a lack of creativity, critical thinking, communication and collaboration for both learners and teachers.
EU consultation
Strengthening basic skills and improving performance in school education
1 submissions from 1 organizations told the European Commission what they think about this file. Here is what each of them said, in their own words.
The Commission received 442 submissions on this file. Shown here: the 1 from organizations. Not shown: 159 from private individuals. Their submissions are personal data; the Commission publishes them under its own legal basis, and republishing them by name here would need one we do not have. Organizations act in a public capacity, so their positions are public record. Also not shown: 282 further submissions we do not publish for other reasons: no quotable text (a comment under 250 characters and no readable paper), no organization named, or a private person who filed under their own name.

Method. Every quote is verbatim from the organization’s own submission to the European Commission, trimmed to its opening passage and never summarized by a model. Where a submission was filed in another EU language we show the English text the European Commission publishes alongside it, labeled on the quote; the original is one click away at the source. Groupings use the respondent type the organization itself selected when filing. We deliberately do not label anyone “supportive” or “opposed”. You read what they wrote and draw your own conclusion. Organizations only, never individuals. Reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU; the European Commission is not liable for this reuse.
