This document discusses the need for change in the current educational system. It argues that the system developed in the 19th century no longer meets the needs of the 21st century. The key competencies required by employers today like critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration are not being systematically developed in most schools. The document presents a vision for educational change, emphasizing developing skills like critical thinking, problem solving, and learning agility. It advocates shifting to a student-centered model with teachers as facilitators. The document proposes using the Theory of Constraints approach to manage the change process through establishing a compelling reason for change, a clear vision of the future, and a coherent plan to get there.
