Education, Parenting & Culture

Education is just as important today as it was generations ago, but somewhere along the way, its value has been diminished.

Many now view it as optional, ineffective, or outdated. Yet the truth remains: education is how societies survive, evolve, and sustain themselves. When fully appreciated, it lifts people out of poverty, shapes character, develops productive citizens, and builds stronger futures.

And yet, we are witnessing a shift. The declining values, knowledge, and performance levels we see are not isolated. They reflect a changing view of what education and parenting mean, and what they are worth in today’s society.

Unless we actively reinforce the value of education and parenting rooted in clarity and purpose, the decline will continue.

Education is the heartbeat of any society. Too often, it is buried beneath outdated systems, performative reforms, fractured homes, and misplaced priorities.

In this space, we reflect on what is really happening in classrooms, homes, staff rooms, and policy rooms. From cultural truths to curriculum gaps, from teacher burnout to parenting struggles, from Caribbean realities to global shifts, this section explores the uncomfortable questions we must ask if we are serious about raising better people and building a stronger future.
