In recent decades, we have witnessed a rapid evolution in various industrial sectors and a large portion of society. This raises the question: is it time to adapt to the evolution of the educational field?
Education plays a crucial role. While in recent years—mainly in the 1990s—efforts have been made to address various concerns related to educational development and academic performance, the role that education plays in our society has taken a new path.
The current educational model still largely relies on memorization rather than practical application of content. However, new models focus on guidance that enhances student learning and strengthens their abilities. There is an evolution in the way of learning; students are not the only main characters in their education. Teachers (and parents) are also individuals who share the same goal as the student, which is to enter a world full of opportunities for personal and professional growth.
We must take advantage of new teaching methods through technological advancements, recreational activities, school exchanges, and the innovative opportunities available (such as bilingual institutions or specialized technical studies). On the other hand, we must leverage the desire to learn present in new generations combined with the abundant sources of knowledge, without neglecting the role of teachers as that crucial link, the guide, the mentor; vitally important for constructing learning models that lead to new professional paths, alongside attitudes of receptivity, adaptation, and social integration.
For over ten years, DiME has been characterized by innovating and understanding what is best for the comprehensive preparation of students by questioning the traditional educational system.
The foundation is to find ways to adapt teaching in a world experiencing constant change through reasoning and the practical application of content. We aim to encourage creativity and enhance each student's strengths so they can develop in what they are passionate about, through personal engagement, thus achieving a high sense of responsibility committed to improving society.
The goal is for our students to enjoy the opportunity to learn, to see the possibilities that education provides through unique teaching methods, to enjoy their daily activities in a healthy and respectful environment, promoting multicultural learning. In this way, we offer the opportunity to learn about other cultures, master a language, meet new people, and create experiences that will accompany them throughout their personal development.
Preparing students to live in a new era and conceive education from a humanistic perspective is fundamental for adapting to change. These elements must be used to benefit education, both for current and future generations, to harness technology and new learning techniques that will lead to advancements in education in Mexico and around the world.
