What is the future of education, how will it be done, who and what will be taught? Is the current education system flawed?
The current education system simply teaches us what they want, they cling to an obsolete system and pigeonhole us into good and bad in which intelligence is only measured by a number and the truth is that the vast majority teach is simple theory that in the real world is useless, think of all the years we have been studying, We have forgotten to enhance the individual skills of each student and the truth is that the vast majority of teachers who force us to teach, do it only to take space in the time of their students when they could be learning productive things that serve them in the real world.
It is that in terms of quality of life they do not prepare us for real life people can have been the best in school or university with the best grades, but that does not guarantee success in the working world we do not know what an asset is what an investment is they teach us to manage companies not to create companies they do not teach us financial education and we live in a capitalist society, but they do not teach us to be financially independent they do not teach us to invest they educate us only to consume they teach us to work so that others generate wealth and the magic is that we do not realize that since we enter school they begin to manipulate us and they teach us only what is convenient for them and the world seems to advance and evolve in many aspects, but unfortunately in education is getting worse and worse the same things are taught with the same methods of 100 years ago to promote new methods and changes this has to go through many levels, since the educational authorities consider valuable this method and have to become public policy changes in plans and programs of study which involves many institutional movements that can be very slow or never happen, because the authorities often work under the paradigm of control and you can only control what can be measured for example: to better control everything make groups with children of the same ages in similar benches in similar buildings that go on the same schedules and control all class hours taught by teachers require all teachers to keep attendance records and give numerical grades so schools become an institution for the control and indoctrination of the masses Elon Musk himself said some time ago:
to me it's easier to send people to Mars than to change the education system
There is hope in the internet and other technologies that are emerging for now are not totally censoring and we can not deny that we learn many things because you can ask freely without being judged without fear of being scolded by anyone and above all I think that education in general is still a little reluctant to adopt new technologies because it would be the end of books and the first steps to digital education, There would be no barrier and perhaps after many years, with the evolution of machines and artificial intelligences and we have total control to use them in schools and in the labor industry, there is if it could displace teachers and many other professions by machines with infinite knowledge, but for now I can sleep peacefully
