| dc.description.abstract | <p>This chapter begins by surveying the various competing objectives that have been put forward for the Seventh-day Adventist education system since its inception in the late 1800s. A selection of these objectives was presented to the teachers in Seventh-day Adventist schools in the North American Division in a survey which was conducted in 2018.</p> <p>The top two goals identified by the teachers were, “Create an environment that makes it more likely that each student will accept Jesus Christ as their saviour and friend”; and “Act in a manner which contributes to the physical, psychological, social and spiritual wellbeing of our students / patients / clients.” There were two objectives that stood out as things that teachers are least concerned about: “Make money to support the activities of the Adventist Church” and “Be competitive in the sector or market place in which it operates.”</p> | |
