Why you believe that a workforce prepared for the 21 century requires at minimum 16 years of education?
This over application of degrees for jobs that should not need a degree at all is one of the problems. Vocational Training should be the path the vast majority of people take, and should be all that is required for the vast majority of even 21 century jobs.
We do not need government provided schools, we need to restructure our very idea of what education is, and employers need to stop over valuing a degree.
- shas3 11y agoNo! Honestly, I think it is the exact opposite. You need more than 16 years of education for the jobs of the future. Vocational teaching cannot teach you statistics and linear algebra required for machine learning, which itself again, cannot be taught in vocational training. For each of these you need all the math prerequisites up to and including freshman undergrad!
- eruditely 11y agoRegular people do not need to learn machine learning. Vocational training sounds great for all the ambiguous and hard to specify tasks required for essentially every industry. These fruits of all our machine learning labors will take some time to materialize.
- justinclift 11y agoHmmm, how about tradies? eg plumbers They're not unskilled at all, but they also don't go to "college" for the majority of their on-the-job learning.
