An article that remind us to review the greater purpose of education. Are we still preparing students the same old way for that same old purpose for this revolving and evolving world? Hm... Food for thought :)
5 shortcomings that the author pointed out of what's 'produced' by the existing education system:
1. Relevance of knowledge
2. Regurgitation vs real world problem solving. It's about transferability across, not just discipline, but also hypothetical to real world situation.
3. The fear of failure - which means a change in our definition of the word, as well as our mindset.
4. Dealing with criticism. More importantly, what does the word mean, and how to criticize constructively and receiving it with an open mind to accomplish a common goal.
5. Failure to see the big picture. Apart from being able to see the big picture, it would also mean knowing the relationships across the entities in the system and how best to get them leverage on each other and synergise.
