Education: Game Over
The educational system that we have known for more than two centuries is coming to an end, that is why we say GAME OVER to the old model of education and higher studies. The game changed, but we did not enable the old game. Shuffle and deal again the deck of cards because we are going for a radical change.
The exit from the global standstill that the Covid-19 pandemic meant finds us with radical consequences in the daily life of our families, work, and all activities, to which social inertia resists. Education does not escape this scenario, despite the fact that virtuality and technology affected it like a tsunami throughout the world. This change promotes transformations that enable various ways of teaching and learning, capable of validating new disruptive processes that legitimately exceed the current system.
