Our Education System is broken. How can we even begin to understand the steady but insidious catastrophe unfolding? Dr Jesal Pankhania explores this in his research paper. Download it at: https://www.tattva.org.uk/ideas/reimagining-the-education-system

Over the past decade, the United Kingdom's Education System (UKES) has had ten different Education Ministers while teachers, uninspired by the system, leave the profession in droves reporting unmanageable workloads. The system is broken and students, teachers and society at large is suffering. What needs to be done?

This paper by Dr Jesal Pankhania examines the problem macroscopically, using the symbolism of an ‘Integral Human Being’ as a starting point to guide our thinking. In doing so, we may be able to evolve our education system into a more sustainable, flourishing and purposeful one where all stakeholders thrive.

is a graduate of the University of Cambridge and the LSE and is currently a PhD Law Candidate at the University of Edinburgh. Pravar currently researches referendums, devolution and parliamentary sovereignty in the UK. He is interested more generally in the constitutional law and politics of the UK and how Indic ideas can shape democratic political systems and political ideas.

Why are public leaders held to a higher standard than others? Do we expect impeccable moral character? Can lying by a politician ever be justified? What are some of the key underpinnings of individual character and the 'dharmic' understanding of bringing about sustainable flourishing?

'Hubs' are curated research and idea circles across a number of themes. Every month, we focus on a different theme. This month’s theme is ‘Public Leadership’. This month, through our series of publications and discussions, we ask a number of questions: Must leaders follow a higher set of ethical principles? Should they always tell the truth? Is long-term thinking rewarded in our current electoral system? Why is it so hard for leaders to bring a nation together?
