At the end of the day, personalized education, in many forms, is the future. Think of the many anecdotal home school success stories. (Of course there are also home school disasters.) This would be so disruptive to the current education and government institutions that I don't see it coming about soon. Primary and secondary schools, colleges and universities can still be education providers, but they would have to radically shift how they function.
- ubernostrum 17y agoAt the end of the day, personalized education, in many forms, is the future. I think that'd be a pretty disastrous future; the purpose of "higher education", if it's to continue in any organized or disorganized form, is not to be personalized. The purpose is twofold: * Give the students a common background of ideas and basic knowledge of their culture. * Through study, discussion and debate of those ideas/culture, give them the ability to absorb and critically reflect upon arbitrary information. In other words, there's a reason why, if you look at the bits which make them up, the terms "university" and "diversity" are practically antonyms.
