#8 EDUCATION

I. In the first video, a distinguished scholar Sugata Mitra shares the idea of creating a School in the Cloud.He honestly thinks that this kind of school will help to support children all around the world and will help them to explore and learn from one another by brainstorming common ideas. Besides, he believes that modern educational system is absolutely obsolete. It limits children's imagination and creativity by tedious tasks and different sort of punishment.


II. In the second video, speaker's rough idea is the problem of dropping out of school by kids. There should be a reason why so many pupils withdraw from the school, even those who have a thirst for knowledge. The reason is, they just don't enjoy it, they don't get a real benefit from it. Today, teachers kill children's curiosity, they forbid them to demonstrate an ability to their natural talents. Besides, modern education focuses on different tests and continuous assessments but not on teaching and learning. That's the problem.


III. What about me, I am firmly convinced that today's education doesn't meet the requirements of the modern world. Most of young people enter the universities just to obtain a diploma but not a knowledge. But the question is:"Can modern education help us to acquire knowledge?" Today, teachers take turns at loading student's brain with unnecessary information. To improve modern system of education there should be created a freedom of choice. Cramming of facts and dates, hi-fi mathematical formulas, theories and doctrines should be at college levels when one has a proven ability for art or music. What will the history pay a doctor or a mathematician, or medical terms to a historian? Unfortunately, due to limit of words in this blog this question remains open.
