The U.S. Government is exploring the shift towards competency-based education, where students progress based on mastery rather than seat time. This model allows personalized learning with individualized support, facilitated by technological advancements. However, many educators express concerns about implementing this approach in a system resistant to rapid change.
While the digital model shows promise in replacing traditional methods, educators emphasize the need for more training and support. The government’s role in facilitating digital tools and infrastructure is essential to enhance the widespread adoption of this innovative learning system.
