International Chancellor, Dr. Michal Pitzl
What kind of education can help bring lasting change and solutions to real world problems? Past and present systems of education have and are suffering from a lack of positive results and limit access to the majority of the population of the world. The High School drop out rate in fifty major inner cities in America is 51%. In 2005, 72 million primary age children in developing nations were not able to attend school. These are not fruitful statistics.
Making education relevant to the needs of the people is what the world needs today, and teaching people to be problem solvers is what is relevant to the people. People need jobs, not theory and school fees. This is what Prof. Michal P. Pitzl finds as she travels and teaches internationally. Prof. Pitzl is the Chancellor of Education Development Worldwide for United Graduate College and Seminary, an on-line seminar that is pioneering on-line education internationally. She says, “A Biblical worldview is one that teaches people how to help people. If people can discover the tools of how to solve real problems, they will create peace and productivity in their homes, their communities, their countries and the world. A Biblical Worldview teaches that everyone is created with a purpose, and it is our vision at United Graduate College and Seminary to help people discover their unique gifts.” Through practical projects and creating personalized programs based on the needs of the people, United Graduate College and Seminary teaches its students how to think, not what to think.
