The Education system

[Saladin]

I wanted to start a debate, I need to do some research for a study that I am right now in.

I want to ask you, what, in your idea is the ideal system for education.

Will it have a stern emphasis on e-learning?

Will it have a lot less stress on students than it has now?

Will it be text-book free and emphasize on learning from the internet, so that people are learning the latest things?

And how will the assessment be, and how important do you think exams are, are they fundamental?

Basically i want Finnish (finland) style of education for whole of the world.

What they do is that, they tend to concentrate on the weak students of the class. they create such a atmosphere that grades are almost equally balanced.

Finland has a common curriculum that is strictly followed.
In spite of downturns in the economy, Finland maintains top funding for education knowing that math and science are key to maintaining its knowledge-based economy.
Finland also emphasizes creative problem-solving skills. After concepts are taught, students are assisted in finding skills and logic to prepare for lifelong learning.
Students having problems learning are assigned tutors and remedial specialists from the first day they are evaluated until the day they graduate.
The most money and time is spent on students in grades 7 through 9 because this is where most of the struggling occurs.

ThankYou..

The only flaw in my education system is that, like income inequality in a poor country, there is a huge difference between a top grader and a weak student.This could be because teacher only concentrates on the top ones..
Slowly students start to lose interest until education seems to them like a fly constantly bugging them.

Yes, but at the same time, we are trying root out leaders and great thinkers, so the person who is self motivated, may be de-motivated by the lack of attetntion.

Yes that is a flaw i admit.

But there are 9 weak students compared to 3 or 2 top ones,usually,in a grade...it would be statistically reasonable to work hard on the majority if we want to root out future great men.

It everyone is made equally good, even though they are lacking in themselves, then who will be the workers?

We need to realise that we need a lower, middle and upper class to sustain an economy,

You want Equality in society or Divisions?

A division is important for the sustainability of the economy.

What I want is everyone to get an equal chance, but that means the facilities that they get, whether the students opt to study is a matter for their parents and themselves.

Equality is important for sustainability of the economy.It means More consumers will have a high disposable income which they could use on other goods and services thereby generating demand for yet more goods..Firms looking to exploit this will invest more thus bring benefits in the Long run.

Eduction is the HEART of an economy, government should not look whether the student wants to study or not.Fact is , economy needs him.

I need to be going.Take care

I agree, Finland is said to be having the best system in the world.

But Mauritius, having been part of the Commonwealth countries, has a colonial system.

[Saladin]

Yes, but what newness can we provide education to make it more dynamic and even more lucrative to the poorer children to change not only their lives, but also the lives of their families and future generations?

Can we empower through education in a more effective manner by enhancing the system itself?

Hmm... That's a more complex issue than it seems to be.
