Alnoor Ladha conceptualizes the 'education system' as an institutional network designed not merely to disseminate knowledge but to cultivate critical consciousness and holistic development in individuals. He posits that a genuine education system transcends rote learning, aiming instead to nurture creativity, social responsibility, and ecological awareness. According to Ladha, it should challenge dominant paradigms and power structures, fostering a spirit of inquiry and self-awareness, and equipping students to envision and build more just and equitable societies. He emphasizes that an authentic education system must be inclusive, adaptable, and responsive to the evolving needs of both individuals and communities, ensuring that learners are empowered to navigate and transform their worlds.
