Notas do Editor
- 4 - typical government responses internationally have been to swing between highly centralised, bureaucratic systems at one end, to completely autonomous, self-managing entities at the other - or in some position along that continuum. Instead of yet another round of shifting where the pendulum is, we need a step change or reorientation of our schooling system to embrace the idea of a networked schooling system – where all participants in the system are ‘nodes’ on the network, each with particular strengths and responsibilities, and where each has a symbiotic relationship with the others, where each has a sense of agency that both empowers them in terms of contribution, and makes them co-dependent on others to remain healthy and grow. This is what a third millennium system must be.
