Educational Priorities of the High Sage of New Toronto

The newly appointed High Sage of Education for the small city of New Toronto was conflicted. On the one hand, this was an opportunity to help this struggling community educate its young people to not only cope with their precarious situation, but to instill appropriate values that can help guide their future. On the other hand, though, there are numerous obstacles involved in developing relevant curricular offerings for these children, including most especially determining what lessons should be learned from the collapse of human civilization and how these lessons should be taught. Drawing on the teachings of Augustine, Plato and Alfarabi, this paper provides a succinct analysis concerning the main reasons for the collapse of human civilization, followed by relevant guiding principles for the ethical education of the next generation of New Torontonians and a summary of the research in the conclusion.

Likewise, despite cautions from the scientific community to proceed with caution in genetic engineering experiments, the earthquakes that rocked the United States in 2036 released experimental organisms into the environment that reproduced and further mutated at astonishing rates.

Taken together, the High Sage had much to consider in determining what type of curricular offerings and values were best suited for the needs of the young people of New Toronto. Fortunately, the High Sage had one of the largest libraries in the world (eight volumes!) including writings by Augustine, Plato and Alfarabi which he applied to the problem as described below.
