Inspiration Behind DRIPBL:
- Access to quality and consistent education is a fundamental right of every child.
- As schools, students, teachers and parents struggled to adapt to the new normal due to COVID-19, it opened our eyes to how unprepared the entire education system is to the challenges of equal access to quality education.
- The education system needs to think outside of curriculum to meet the needs of the students who are not traditional students.
- The education system needs to foster critical thinking, problem solving and leadership skills that are possible through research and give equal opportunities to all kids to be successful.
