There was a time when an educated person had to know everything they needed, and learn it all before leaving school, because afterward they would have no access to that information. When Einstein was asked why he didn’t know his own phone number, he replied: “Why should I know something when I know where to find it?” He knew this very important fact a hundred years ago, or however long it was.
Today, the model of education continues as it has for thousands of years. Schools and universities teach as if they are the only places with access to information, and there is nothing outside them. This is where the six-point grading scale comes in. From another angle, grading itself is based on how well you can cram something into your head. To support this claim, I’ll point to a statistic saying that people who do well on the test portion of their state exam struggle with the open-ended case study, and vice versa.
According to Professor Uzunova, education has become a business, and that is hardly news.
There is constant talk of shortening education and “restructuring.” Even compulsory military service was abolished, all to speed up the process of training the ideal worker. It has been proven that the optimal age for a worker is 24. Everything possible will be done to get people working as much as possible before they turn 24.
Tomorrow’s education needs corporate training.
