Increase Apprenticeships & Learning by Doing to Reduce the Impact of Dyslexia
Have you ever wondered why learning differences like dyslexia seem more prevalent in certain societies? It might be linked to the decline of apprenticeship systems and the rise of purely academic learning.
Our great-grandparents learned skills through hands-on experience, observation, and trial and error. However, recent generations have been confined to learning primarily from books, often isolated from real-world applications until much later.
I believe a shift is on the horizon. In the next decade, education could transform, blending hands-on learning with digital simulations and AI. This could provide an environment where dyslexic individuals thrive, leveraging their unique strengths in a practical, engaging way.
Let’s advocate for an educational evolution that values doing and creating just as much as reading and recalling. This change could unlock incredible potential in those who learn differently.
