Bridging the Gaps: Enhancing Modern Education through Holistic and Multidisciplinary Approaches

Abstract The modern education system, characterized by its secular, formal, and reductionist approach, often fails to address the holistic development of individuals. By segregating subjects, prioritizing formal teaching, and emphasizing written-based learning, this system can result in a fragmented understanding of the world, where students excel academically but lack interdisciplinary thinking, ethical grounding, and practical skills. The focus on short-term prediction and rapid knowledge transfer further undermines the depth of understanding and critical thinking necessary for long-term success. This chapter explores the limitations of the modern education system and advocates for a more holistic and multidisciplinary approach that integrates emotional, physical, and ethical dimensions into learning. By examining the benefits of holistic education, such as emotional support, physical development, and the cultivation of social responsibility, this chapter highlights the need for a paradigm shift in education. It also discusses the importance of multidisciplinary education in fostering creativity, critical thinking, and adaptability, equipping students to navigate the complexities of the modern world.
