Many people view change or disruption as a bad thing but this is not always the case. Its time to understand that change is important because it drives progress, adaptation, and growth. In today's dynamic and fast-paced world, organizations, including educational institutions, need to embrace change to remain relevant and effective. By embracing change, organizations can enhance productivity, foster innovation, and create better outcomes.
To evoke change within the education system we can provide professional development opportunities that equip teachers with the knowledge and skills needed to implement innovative teaching practices , leverage technology as an enabler for personalized learning, collaboration, and access to resources, while ensuring it is used purposefully and effectively and lastly move beyond traditional standardized testing and embrace varied forms of assessment that evaluate students' skills, creativity, critical thinking, and real-world application of knowledge.
Disruptive innovations come about through a combination of technological advancements, changing dynamics, and the identification of unmet needs .They challenge the status quo by identifying overlooked or underserved segments, introducing disruptive solutions, and gradually gaining traction until they transform entire industries. Disruptive innovations are important because they drive progress, foster competition, and ultimately lead to improvements in efficiency, accessibility, and affordability.
