THAT is the essence of what schooling should be about. We need LESS of curriculum rigidity and MORE of collaborative fluidity. Encourage this, support it, recommend it. It could make implementation of the #nudgeathonSA2019 more of a reality. @WCED_HOD @WCEDnews @BrianSchreuder
.@danielmabuse and Benjy make up such an impressive father-son duo! So valuable to have these intergenerational perspectives involved in #NudgeathonSA2019
