Whitby identifies the rapidly changing marketplace for schooling , with the increasing popularity of homeschooling and micro-credentialing , as examples of why schooling must better meet the demands of today ’ s learners in today ’ s world . “ Going to school , getting your leaving certificate , then going to university to get a BA and then an MA – for many , those days are numbered . Yet schools still operate as if they are a sausage machine feeding people through .” A contemporary model of
schooling puts the learner at the centre of schooling . “ We ’ ve embarked on a process of transformation in our schools ,” Whitby explains . “ We believe that contemporary schooling , the way it ’ s currently delivered in an industrial model , is no longer fit for purpose in today ’ s world . We ’ ve got to build diversity into the system because we believe that diversity is the norm in learning . Each person is different and they each have different needs .”
