Intercalating a Multi-Barreled Approach to Educational and Pedagogical Reform: A Brief Summation of our Publications on Pedagogy

The objective of this paper is to summate and summarize the core tenets of our proposed multi-barreled approach to educational and pedagogical reform. This is accomplished in this paper by eliciting the core philosophy behind our approach, and presenting them in the form of easily understandable principle or bullet points; it would be more appropriate to refer to them as action points that can be easily implemented by various educational institutions and planning bodies to improve academic performance and achieve national productivity goals and milestones to boot. The progress made by mankind in the realm of education in the past few years and decades has been enormous. However, progress on this front has mostly been quantitative and not qualitative. In other words, major qualitative progress has not been achieved beyond the realm of fantasy. A large part of the problem is that wide variations persist, and there is no universal gold standard to benchmark progress against. Progress in education and in pedagogy will become make or break as economies move towards orange economies, and as birth rates fall. Economists and planners would therefore be well-advised to take educational and pedagogical reform seriously.
