Room B-315

Educational systems differ from country to country, state to state, and nation to nation. Learning about different educational systems brings to light ways in which one can improve their own schools’ policies, practices and instructional strategies. Additionally, it highlights aspects of one’s own schooling that are otherwise overlooked.

The Warner School is fortunate to have students who have lived and learned in countries all over the world. At this Tuesday’s lunch hour, six Warner School students will provide insights into educational systems that they themselves have experienced, either as teachers or students. Each panelist will speak for about five minutes, and there will be a 20 minute question and answer session.

The panelists and the countries they are presenting on are listed below:

• Cecilia Rios- Mexico
• Paula Morris- Jamaica
• Akhtar Ghassemi- Iran
• Malathi Rangan- India
• Ching Hung Hsiao- China
• Peter Abas- Philippines

Light snacks and drinks will be provided.
