Students aren't, for the most part, paying for the instruction. They're paying for the certification.
Unbundling these two things would solve all kinds of problems. That's a pretty big challenge though.
- wutbrodo 13y agoForget being a challenge, is it even possible? Isn't the certification's only value that it certifies that you've received the instruction?
- harryh 13y agoUnbundling doesn't mean that you haven't gotten the instruction. It just means that the institution that does the instructing doesn't have to be the same institution that grants the certification. If somehow Harvard could start certifying extra 22 year olds as "just as good as any other Harvard grad" even if they never took a single class there then lots of interesting things might happen.
