[Reflection] Whole Person Education: The Goals and the Challenges
Whole person education explained by Dr. Ben S. Malayang III, President of Silliman University, is an approach that aims to nurture competence, character, and faith in students. Whole person education is used to strengthen a students ability to learn and connect with their spiritual beliefs on a deeper level. One insight I gained is that there is a role that organizations play in fostering whole person education, like the United Board with it’s facilitate that can collaboration and develop education with their extensive network across Asian higher education institutions. The entire whole person education is a pretty good approach that addresses some of the needs of students today.
In conclusion, Dr. Malayang’s insights on whole person education highlight the significance and potent potential for Asian higher education institutions. It is a good approach that can prepare students for an ethical life. Only if the faculty can be ready as well as the curriculum should be in it’s transformation for effective implementing, whole person education has the power to shape competent students who can make a impact on society with their cultural and spiritual values.
