Philosophy of Education (continued)
That we must be alert to new research and development in all fields of human learning and to the implications of these developments for more effective teaching and school
improvement.
That the educational system must be served by professionals who share and are guided in their operations by a set of systematic and incisive understandings, beliefs and
values about education in general and its relationship to the development of the national community of Trinidad and Tobago.
That there is a need to create and sustain a humanized and democratized system of education for the survival of our democracy.
That the democratization and humanization of the educational system are largely contingent on the degree to which the system is professionalized. The nature of
educational problems is such that the professional core must be engaged in decision-making with respect to the problems that affect their expert delivery of the services to
the clientele and ultimately to Trinidad and Tobago. Professionals must come to experience a real sense of 'control and ownership' of matters educational.
That from a psychological perspective, education is a means of looking out beyond the boundaries of the immediate. It can be the viable means which creates individuals
with the intellect and capacity to develop and lead societies, communities, villages and/or neighbourhoods and families of the future. It should be responsible to and
stimulate the searing human spirit and the emphatic quest for human communication, interaction, love and trust.
That learning is cumulative and that every stage in the educational process is as important and critical for the learner's development as what has gone before tit and what is
to come. As such we must view educational programming and development in the round, recognizing the importance of every rung on the ladder of delivery by
intensifying our efforts throughout the system.
