I think you are 100% spot on. I used to run an edtech startup that sold directly to government run schools. When I attempted to introduce the technology to the school I was often met with hostility because they said my technology was designed to replace teachers rather than empower them. Needless to say, I got out of the business quick and now I focus my efforts on building technology to allow self-learners to directly learn. The existing government run education model is completely broken. They are openly hostile to innovative technology. It is a matter of philosophy and it cannot be fixed. If the system is broken, it is time to have it replaced with something better. Eventually, something better will come a long and citizens/taxpayers will begin to question why this old model still exists, just like how people ask why certain businesses still exist. If there is any innovation to happen in education, it will not come from traditional universities or schools.
