Education in a Changing World: Essays on Teaching and Learning For a Better Life

EDUCATION IN A CHANGING WORLD, by Irie Glajar, challenges the individual and the human race to forever continue learning as the World changes, recognizing that improving education is one of the most important common interests necessary to our very survival. Irie well understands his subject matter, experiencing life as a student, graduate, refugee, teacher, author, and professor. Examples of improving education in our ever-changing World include techniques making irresistible and fun choices likely to result in exclamations like “Wow, learning important facts is helpful and makes life easier,” followed by “These concepts may be useful with respect to many other jobs and endeavors,” ”I wonder what all else I don’t yet know,” and “Life will be better and better, forever, the more we all continue to learn and help the human race help itself!” Irie approaches education, in part, from his own unique life experiences, such as his daring escape in 1981, at age 26, from (then) totalitarian Romania. Irie had no passport and very little money as he escaped crossing the old Yugoslavia, making his way to the United Nations’ refugee camp in Latina, Italy, and to the U.S.A. in 1982. We believe that you will enjoy and find useful Irie’s thoughtful and perceptive insights and recommendations in EDUCATION IN A CHANGING WORLD.
