What will you advice educational system on?

[mimienamphine]

Many Universities and high school of learning are just not meeting the needs of our society.They keep teaching people high concepts on paper that they never applied to real life situation. Tell me what problem have you used calculus to solve before.Those concepts should go to the engineers and those who have other talents should study in a related practical life problem solving concepts. I do not know who designed this rigid system and it is like very complex to make changes.We keep producing graduates yearly with practically no life skills.So it has become the norm that since others have gone through the same system,then everybody must go through same without which it looks like you have not been to school.This must change.

in high school, we study some theories and concept so we will know which field we are interested in or which topics/field we will excel or to know which one is your passion. sometimes you will only know which one you're interested in college the only way to know is when you study it.

The educational system as it is today is in a total mess. As you said, it is not just meeting the needs of today's society. Companies end up having to retrain graduates of a major that corresponds to their present job description. Obsolete concepts and ideas still get passed on and on just for the fun of it. The case is even worse in underdeveloped countries. If educational institutions must achieve their intended purpose, then they must evolve too. Imagine if the academic world evolved as fast as the technological world. Sadly, it is as though it is the lazy and unambitious intellectuals that settle for the academia. And if this is truly the case, one can only expect little or nothing.

Blanca_Gregory is definitely right about the lack of evolution in public schools. If you took a public school from a hundred year ago and one from today, they would differ so little. That's a bit startling, if you think about how many other things have changed the the world. I honestly don't have much hope for public schools. I definitely don't plan to ever send my children to public school unless they really want to. Peter Thiel is funding kids to quit college and develop their business ideas (https://www.fastcompany.com/1755089/peter-thiel-gives-whiz-kids-100k-quit-college-start-businesses). Praxis is another great example of a company that is helping young people gain real work experience instead of a degree. I think this type of practical education, when people do what they actually want, is the future. I am a big supporter of the unschooling movement.

Great! You know the funny thing is that no one seems to be discussing these obvious things. I graduated from institutions where the members of the faculty felt they were doing such a fantastic job. Maybe they actually were trying their best. But time has shown that their best is not good enough. Regardless of the fact that these institutions rate highly in the world, they were still not meeting the society's needs. So, I think the reference point for performance must be reviewed. A higher institution must be judged based on how well it meets the society's needs and not by how well it is taking on other institutions of its kind.

I agree that there is no point in competing between different indicators that don't necessarily mean anything in the end. So what if your students do better on a standardized test? Is that actually going to help them in their careers? We suffer from education inflation. What we could do 50 years ago with no education, or a grade 5 education, now we "need" a high school degree. What we used to need a high school degree for, now we need a bachelor's. What we used to need a bachelor's for, now we need a masters. This just makes it easier for HR departments to filter through the applications. It doesn't actually give any kind of guarantee that the quality of the employees will be any better. Luckily, some companies are starting to realize that and are looking at other things rather than degrees.

I feel like universities are good for overall understanding some basic concepts and stuff, but you can get that knowledge yourself without spending that much of $ and time.

[pavlooster]

I agree, that the most important thing is to change the approach of universities as well as professors. Of course, it's useless if they teach young people theory because it hasn't the reflection in the real work. But the problem is also that the professor will be not the good one in the situation when he/she is an academic professor without experience in the field in which he/she specializes in. So, the universities except for looking for market labor needs should focus on high-quality staff.

Self education is the best type of education. Schools nowadays don't teach you things that you'd be able and need to use in the modern world of developing technologies.
