The Future of Education

The current system is rooted in conformity. Education is one-size-fits-all. It’s reactionary — oriented towards past values and past technologies. It forces us to learn the same things, in the same way, at the same place, at the same pace, at the same age.

The current system depends on extrinsic rewards. Students care too much about grades and not enough about learning. As Neil deGrasse Tyson once wrote: "When students cheat on exams it's because our school system values grades more than students value learning."

Work and education will co-evolve. Short term, project-based work will replace long-term, open-ended jobs. A job will be a task that you do, not a position that you have.

The average university lecture is already worse than the free, online option. The barriers for creating a class are virtually non-existent. Teachers can spread their ideas rapidly with relatively little capital. The three biggest constraints on teachers — time, energy, and geography — have evaporated.

no need to school/university again in this era.. just googling is enough.. but stupid teachers want us to school/university cause they need money.. only dam people go to school/university right now

@dodoboy yeah exactly.

The education systems in every country is not giving the perfect platform to the kids.
Almost all country following the same system which more than 50 years old.

This sytems not giving the opportunity to grow intelligence. Actually it killing the knowledge of those kids.

Ofcourse the basic is still remains same, but the adoption in not enough.

Who knows... maybe eventually we'll go full Matrix and just plug in to educate. Can you imagine... know anything you want just by popping in the disk and plugging your brain in!

There is a misconception that school exists to educate kids, where "educate" is meant as "provide the skills and resources for the kid to have a great future". This is like Santa Claus - a pleasant tale which can't be further from reality.

It certainly wasn't like that in the past. In the past, school was actually demanding and hard in comparison because the goal of education as providing means for the future was still in place.

This isn't to say that you can't find great schools for your kids - but now you have to actually look hard.

School is a kindergarten at best - a place of violence at worse. But the good news is that you are not bound in our age by your location. Shitty professors and worthless people wasting your time? Screw them - you go to edX and get quality material to invest your time in. And you pay $0 (unless you want a certificate or whatever their paid offering is).

Today's school is a bad deal for the complacent ones but there is a great opportunity for those who have a strong fire inside. Your competition will suck, so cheer up
