"Education for self-reliance"I think this will be helpful in eradicating unemployment problem and reduce rate of dependents.
Education should focus much on building student's creativities on solving existing problems facing society both in theory and practical.I always feels pains to see science students get access of laboratory while those who take arts subjects lacks ,the teachers should tells students particular art students where is their laboratory and of-course it is the community.

Strong ties to local farms and Community Supported Agriculture
CSA is a growing movement in the U.S. that encourages the investment of communities in local farms as well as local farms in their communities. The basic economic model is such that consumers buy shares at the beginning of the season that meet the budget determined by the farm. In return, the members receive weekly distributions of the seasonal produce as they come available for harvest. This way the farmer can focus on growing food of the highest quality by sustainable means in the interest of building community, rather than planting monocultures of cash crops for profit, without consideration of…

Pass the jellyfish, please.

Why the jellies? Because they are like the proverbial canary in the coal mine, only there numbers increase in warm, low oxygen, polluted waters - and they are increasing and as such are a marker species. Because they are interesting to look at and talk about as the protagonist in the huge crisis that is Global Warming. Around the kitchen table, if you don't want to hear, "Pass, the jellies, please," then kids need to inform the decision-makers about sustainable living "best practices" and share the love.4 votes -
Helping young minds to understand the value of living without any boundaries in this new world
Sharing good things about different cultures. Giving students role models from all over the world not only from their own country. Helping them to find common things among them and people of other countries. Helping them to communicate with people from all over the world through video chats and conferences (if not possible to meet directly). Teach them to love common things but always respect the differences because nothing is good or bad, it is only the perception. Organize events(dress competitions, discussions, food festivals, art competitions, skits) and quiz about different cultures and traditions.

Academic integration
Academic integration should make a Future Friendly School. Academics has to with thoughts, knowledge and assimilation. The curricular syndrome in any school should have a universal standard procedure.

School & Jail
School & Jail are the only two places on the earth where we don't prefer to go by choice. Rather, we are forced to enroll. Think of this seriously. Look at the innocent faces of children while entering the school and while leaving the school. Difference can't go unnoticed. Why children clap their hands with joy when holiday gets announced. What are those things for which children refuse to go to school? Why they sometimes play tricks to bunk off the school? Why children impatiently wait for Sunday to come? How many children will prefer to go to school themselves…
