I Have a Dream: School Shark Tank

I Have a Dream

The School Shark Tank

 

School-age children make up 25% of Bahamian citizens yet are not actively included in civic engagement and participation.  They are directly impacted by school and learning environments— as the primary beneficiaries of schools – but, despite this, are often not consulted in the conversations and decisions that shape and develop these environments.

The “I Have A Dream” School Shark Tank is an ORG Bahamas Education Program/Event which provides a platform to empower youth, amplify their voices, and advance their ideas, plans and dreams for education in The Bahamas. After all, who has more intimate knowledge of what is and isn’t working for Bahamian students than the students themselves?

The 2019 Inaugural I Have A Dream School Shark Tank finals was held at Lyford Cay International School (LCIS) and Fusion Superplex. With the assistance of their teacher chaperones and mentors from LCIS the students learned about all aspects of school development and advocacy, from curricular development to teaching styles, to designing environments for learning. The students presented their dream schools to expert judges and a live audience See the presentations from the winning and finalist teams below:

Educators urged to 'loosen grip' on vocational training

By NEIL HARTNELL

Tribune Business Editor

[email protected]

A former Chamber of Commerce chairman has urged educators “to give up their grip” on vocational training, and let industry drive course content and standards.

Robert Myers told Tribune Business it was “a damn shame” that Bahamas-based vocational training institutions had not responded to his previous calls for the private sector to play a greater role in the classroom.
