School holidays are for learning
Oped, Mariano Carrera, Published on 06/04/2023
» School holidays are a time for students to learn something different from what they study at school. They can learn some practical skills, or learn about subjects that interest them. By continually learning, children grow into adults who are aware of their environment and are open to learning more. They can adapt to the changing environment and "roll with the flow". Baby boomers, in particular, like to boast about their ability to change jobs and lifestyles easily when things don't go their way. Sadly, school holidays are not seen as a learning opportunity but rather a period of relaxation (for some) and enforced babysitting for others. This is confusing, especially when with shortening innovation cycles, continuous learning is now more important than ever.
