Education is a and should be a fundamental right. I more than agree on this because I believe in - giving an opportunity for an individual self to learn and earn rather than anything else. That's why I run a trust which has similar interests as well - Jey Geethan's Helper Elf Trust
I am trying to question the way its being currently implemented in the society.
Education faces the following problems currently:
- Exclusivity
- Irrelevant to earning a living
The basic premise that education should provide a livelyhood is sabotaged because it's not possible to provide the right education to the right people at the right time. So are we really right on this?
I am of the opinion that the following should also be part of an education (from my own experience) apart from the regular educational system.
- Reading the right blog posts about a subject that you are wanting to learn
- Talking to the right people who have been there, done that
- Reading the right books
- Watching the right videos
- Opportunities for the individuals which help them gain the added experience
- Right Teachers
- Correct motivation
Yes, I agree that a formal education helps to alleviate some of the above points. But I have a deeper question - how many of the people in this world get all the above vantage? I would say that there are a vast majority of people who don't get these opportunities and I think the system needs to be improved in order to fix them.
Is it possible to fix them all? I will leave the answer unanswered.
