In “EP 20: Learn to Learn” of the “One Eye Deer” Podcast, discover how you can learn for your own self-development and growth.
The traditional education system is flawed for most people. If you are one of the people who fits the system that it was designed for, then you will do well. If not, you will struggle.
The traditional education system is necessary from a national policy perspective.
Education policy makers must find a system that can work for the largest percentage of students to produce the type of human resource that can ultimately benefit the country, based on the needs of the nation.
However, the fact is, that approach may not work for half the population. And they can fall through the education cracks. The system is also results oriented using standardised exams as the benchmark for grading.
Exam questions are also expected to be answered in a specific way with little room for deviation from the norm.
As a result, rote learning and memorisation are common as they are key to achieving academic success.
The reality is, success in the business or professional world is nothing like standardised exams. In fact, it is those that can be innovative and operate outside the box that tend to be more successful.
