It's very cool, a lot of governments could learn from it. Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome !
The question is how we make it happen that governments learn from it ?
One way, I think, would be for the students to go on strike, but I have no idea what kind of impact that would have.
Other than that I think it will come to their attention eventually. If graduates begin to get jobs that do not require degrees and they become very successful with those jobs, then the students will learn about it and dropout rates will be through the roof. Also with so much information out there kids are becoming more knowledgable and most will see how obsolete the system they are in is.
Any ideas yourself?
Just thought about the time when the students had to pay their teachers, so the teachers had to be good in what they were teaching because otherwise the students would go to someone else.
In my view, governments do not learn because of their steady change in power. They can not. Thats the reason I think that the people themselves have to do it ..
That's a good idea, freelance teaching.
Just thought of another potential way:
Corporations could set up their own forms of education for their field, where they offer the education for free to anyone, but in exchange, the graduates work for them for a number of years, but I could see that going bad in as many ways as it could do well.
I would agree that people need to take action on their own behalf, in a business degree, for example, there is nothing that you will learn in the degree that you couldn't learn for free on the web. As well as that you could leran it all much much quicker as you wouldn't have to wait around for each class or wait for everyone else in the class.
And on top of that you come put with the eact same skills as every other idiot with a business degree so you've no way to difeerentaite yourself from everyone else.
With the contemporary corporations I think it is more going to the bad side of things. Originally they were invented for a specific life-time, say got a charter of x years for a specific monopoly, later they got permanent and since then tyrannising the rest of our natural environment and the majority of people on this planet.
What would they teach other than their predatory thinking ?
With the business degree I agree absolutely, think about all the rubbish they still teaching which is long gone in the scientific community discourse.
Yes, that's a good point.
I suppose they could teach their respective fields, Google could teach people to code, facebook could teach people marketing, although I really dislike both Google and Facebook, it was just an idea I had.
