In his book "The Element" Ken Robinson writes how nearly every system of public education on earth is in the process of being reformed---in Asia, the Americas, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
Reasons given are economic and cultural. Economic since every region in the world wants to educate their people to find work and create wealth in a world that is changing faster than ever; cultural because every region wants to take advantage of globalization without losing their identity.
In education there are three major processes: the curriculum--- what the school system expects students to learn; pedagogy---the process by which the system helps students to learn; and assessment--- the process of judging how well they are doing.
Churches of Christ emphasize the Bible as the curriculum, but pay little attention to pedagogy and no attention to assessment. Is it any wonder the church if Bible illiterate?
