Challenges of Education Trends

There is frustration surrounding repetitive and poorly thought-out trends in education, such as the push for project-based learning and technology integration, evidenced by recent failures like the costly investment into laptops for students in Glasgow. Such initiatives often lack a successful track record, resulting in wasted resources and ineffective policies. Understanding that these cycles of poor educational choices re-emerge every few years highlights the importance of critical evaluation of past results and the need for genuine change. The ongoing implementation of such trends without evidence-based support leaves educators feeling disillusioned, as they grapple with successfully engaging students under misguided directives.
