Let's look at the current model of education, which has many challenges:
- Not enough schools, teachers, staff, etc., to teach everyone. Always behind.
- The current education system tries to fit everyone into one mold instead of recognizing each individual's unique potential. If each child followed their passion, society would be balanced.
- A system of inequality is created due to the money and time required for schooling.
- Children don’t learn to think independently but are graded on how well they repeat existing knowledge.
- Many years of schooling, but students often lack practical skills.
- Students spend years learning a profession on top of basic education.
- The current system stifles creativity and forces children to conform, reflecting an outdated system of winners and losers.
- Much of the education is forgotten because it’s never applied.
- Students often lack confidence as they excel in some subjects but are told they are not good in others.
- The system is costly to maintain, and students who leave early have no value, while those who complete it often lack confidence and practical skills.
- Children become a jack of all trades but master of none, often forgetting what they learned due to lack of application, resulting in wasted education.
What is the school of the future?
- There are no teachers in the school of the future. All children from all grade levels teach each other, open to both children and adults alike. Curriculums are available to provide a mental map, but each learner's journey is self-directed. Mentors are available for advice on where to start, answering questions, and practical job skills.
- Children follow their passion, pursuing what they want to learn to provide a balanced society. The school leverages individual passion.
- Students determine their own curriculum, focusing on one or two subjects at a time to mastery.
- Mastering their first subject builds confidence, encouraging students to tackle new subjects with the same mastery.
- Since the learning is passion-driven, mastery comes naturally and effortlessly, providing a skill that allows students to earn a living.
- This approach allows students to graduate quickly as masters in their craft, taking pride in their expertise.
- Money flows effortlessly to these students because they master and enjoy their work.
- The school becomes a knowledge-sharing environment where children, students, and adults freely exchange knowledge. Each field has a curriculum guide with videos and tutorials. However, students are responsible for updating and sharing curriculum content with like-minded students locally and globally.
