In Sheryl’s opinion, education is a lifelong process of cumulative and developmental experiences gained through interaction with school and society. “Teaching should be child-centered with a flexible curriculum designed to adequately prepare students to become global citizens in the 21st century. Teaching is a shared responsibility with the school system, the family, the place of worship, and many other community agencies playing a crucial role in the development of the whole child,” Sheryl said.
