    Derived from the word perennial, which means to
    endure the test of time, perennialism in education
    means to teach what is everlasting. Just as
    perennial plants last for years, a perennial
    curriculum focuses on principles that have been
    constant throughout human history. Unlike
    education that promotes current practice and job
    skills, for perennialists, education should focus on
    literary classics, on theory, and the development
    of the mind.
    Perennialism is based on the philosophies of Plato,
    Aristotle, and St. Thomas Aquinas. The most
    conservative, traditional or flexible philosophy. The
    ideas are relevant, and meaningful. Perennialism
    teaches concepts and focuses on knowledge and the
    meaning of knowledge.
    The philosophy argues that children
    should be educated to provide them
    with the knowledge and skills they need
    to succeed across time periods.
    Perennialist education ia designed to
    provide children with relevant skills
    today and will be relevant in the future.
    Educational perennialism is
    a philosophy that stands for
    the idea of "learning
    without end". It promotes
    lifelong learning and an
    education system that is
    constantly evolving.
    It was first introduced in 1975 by Dr. James
    Batson, who believed that education should be
    tailored to each student's needs. Perennialist
    believe that all student should have access to a
    wide variety of educational opportunities
    throughout their lives.
    They believe that
    education's ultimate goal is
    to teach people to develop
    their intellectual skills,
    moral character and
    emotional and physical
    powers. The Perennial
    philosophy of education
    believes that the ultimate
    goal of education is to
    educate the whole person.
    Perennialism is a teacher-
    centered ideology in
    which the teacher is less
    concerned with students
    interests and more
    concerned with
    transferring information
    from older generations to
    younger generations.
    Role of a Teacher in Perennialism:

    • A perennialist teacher's job is to teach their


    students how to think critically, analyze
    information, and solve problems.

    • Teachers are responsible for teaching their


    students about a particular subject or topic.
    • The teacher is the one who teaches and
    instructs.

    • A teacher is a person who teaches. They


    teach in various settings, such as schools and
    universities.

    • The role of the teacher differs depending on


    the setting and age group they are teaching.
    Perennialism in Education examples:

    • Using an artist's work from a different era to


    teach about art history.

    • The idea that education should be a lifelong


    process. Learning is continuous and never-ending.

    • The idea that the best way to learn is through


    experience based - activities.
    • A focus on understanding concepts rather than
    memorizing facts or figures.
