At EPI, we believe the key to economic success of a country lies within that country's educational system. When students enter the educational system, we must look at them from a holistic perspective. So, we have created The Penta Model. The Penta Model generally views each student from five different perspectives or dimensions and there must be mechanisms and programs in place that ensure each perspective or dimension is serving every student to the best of its ability.
The Penta Model consists of:
Social Health
Physical Health
Emotional Health
Intellectual Health
Home Health
Globe Whiz (TM) and our mission addresses all five perspectives or dimensions. Conflict resolution in education programs address the first three dimensions with the assistance of the medical community. Globe Whiz (TM) addresses intellectual health in the way it teaches factual knowledge about our planet and it addresses home health by increasing understanding and communication between generations.
When a student graduates from high school, the educational system should have properly prepared that student enough to also make basic decisions about their own personal financial health. This is when the student enters the economy, if they haven't already started working.
