The world is always changing Make sure your child is ready

-

WE live in a time of constant, quickening developmen­t. So, when it comes to enrolment, it makes perfect sense to consider which school is most likely to keep up with the lightning-fast pace of today’s world.

Think of the technologi­cal changes that have happened within the last five years alone; now, imagine what changes will unfold during the five or six years your child spends in school.

If your child has a particular interest in technology, then this considerat­ion expands even further in importance. Are you looking at a particular school right now? Now, ask yourself: have you looked into that school’s commitment to technologi­cal training? Does that school have more than one eye on the future? Has it proved in the past that it can keep pace with change? And does it look as though it’s prepared for further changes?

If your child attends a school that can honestly answer positively to those aforementi­oned questions, then your child is also more likely to develop the skills they need to keep pace with the world.

The world has changed since we were in school, and schools have changed in tandem with that world. Nowadays, they’re more aware of the importance of preparing even adolescent­s for this changing world; they have to be.

Like everything, however, some schools are better prepared than most for change. And it might be fair to say that the best-prepared secondary schools in this regard might be the also be the best choice for your child.
