Limitations of Current Education
Our current education
system, with its roots firmly in the industrialization era,
has hardly changed over the past 100 years. Here are some of
its major limitations:
- Education
viewed as transmission of facts, rather than a
natural, non-linear process of discovery and
experience.
- Excessive
focus on rote memorization.
- Focus on
covering content, not on deeper learning.
- Skills
important in work and life not being taught.
- Human
values not given importance.
- Child’s
natural curiosity and urge to learn getting
stifled.
- Education
divorced from real world, leading to student
disengagement and boredom.
