Really well-written article and agree absolutely with everything that is said. Cultivating well rounded students requires quality teachers who themselves recognise the importance of building a high calibre student and adult workforce in society.
The key, I believe, is taking innovative steps to recruit and retain creative teachers. True, there is always a lot of discussion and consultation around this but nothing really changes. Building the best teacher workforce across all schools will go a long way to helping young people become well balanced mature adults.
A related point is enhancing the status of the teaching profession in society so teachers feel valued and respected. This is yet to happen in our society.
All stakeholders should have an genuine interest in coming together and developing a cohesive approach to enhance and uplift schooling and education.
