The First Step to True Learning is the Art of Unlearning

In the ever-evolving landscape of education, the role of teachers/educators extends far beyond the conventional boundaries of imparting knowledge. Teachers are not just transmitters of information but shapers of young minds, influencers of character, and architects of inclusive and empathetic learning environments.

The “UnLearn Series” by Mantra4Change is a heartfelt tribute to educators who have dared to challenge lousy practices to ensure enriching learning experiences for their students. Each of these ten stories featured in this series is a testament to the power of reflection, resilience, and adaptation in the field of education. These stories reveal the transformative journey of educators who confronted their biases, questioned societal norms, and broke free from the shackles of tradition.

From unlearning the belief in inherent teaching abilities to dismantling the notion of a “teacher’s pet,” these educators have displayed remarkable courage in challenging the status quo. They have discovered that education is not a one-size-fits-all endeavour, and every student deserves the chance to shine uniquely.

As we celebrate these stories of unlearning, we invite educators, parents, mentors, and all stakeholders in education to join this transformative journey. Let us embrace the spirit of unlearning and continuously strive to reimagine how learning can take shape for tomorrow’s leaders. We would love to have your story in our next edition!
