WILLEMSTAD - The Ministry of Education, Science, Culture, and Sport (ESKD) has announced that a delegation of teachers and educators from the Fundeshi Elis Juliana-Sheila Karel School, one of the pioneering institutions expanded under the Public School Directive, is set to embark on a journey to Helsinki, Finland on March 22nd. The primary objective of this excursion is to enrich and reinforce digital competencies among participants.
In an era where technology significantly impacts education, it is imperative for educators to remain well-informed about digital advancements that foster modern teaching practices in the 21st century. Finland stands out as one of the most advanced nations where digitalization has seamlessly integrated into the educational framework, with widespread adoption of digital literacy. From mastering innovative digital teaching methodologies to effectively harnessing educational technological potentials, these components are crucial for educators in Finland. Hence, a delegation of educators from the Public School Directive of Curaçao will journey to Finland to gain insights into this educational paradigm.
This educational trip is part of a broader initiative wherein the Public School Service collaborates with the Erasmusplus organization to promote teaching practices and curriculum development in education, financed by the Erasmusplus project. This collaboration facilitates the exchange of knowledge, enabling the participants to enhance their professional expertise within an innovative framework. Furthermore, this exchange initiative empowers educators to continuously evolve and embrace modern teaching methodologies that align with 21st-century educational standards.
Further details about this educational journey will be forthcoming, with updates available on the government website and Facebook page of the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture, and Sport. Interested individuals can also stay informed by following the Facebook page of the Fundeshi Elis Juliana-Sheila Karel School.
