Emancipation

Empowerment should be the starting point when educators support students creating their identity. It could be called “help to help ourself develop general education”. As educators we need to ask certain questions to our students in the matter to help them. Questions that helps them present them-self, create the picture of their life and identity. Only if we as educators write this down, we will have an idea about, who it is we are dealing with. Education certainly also concerns life in general for everyone who are involved. We need to expand the width and the quality of the tool we use, which is an important source for information about the individual we educate. This tool could be improved if we add some vigour and more power to it. The student and the educator has to join a partnership about the students education. The questions students need to take a stand on are: The quality of their social relations? The quality of their schoolwork? Questions about spirituality? What is their family situation at the moment? How their educational situation influence on their social life? We can as educators ask the questions and help the students build on their answers.
