7. How the author's article align
with the purpose of education
•
Education can be received anywhere, be it formal or
not. Platforms such as social media can offer
opportunities to obtain knowledge, but the
effectiveness of this approach is determined by the
attitude of the student
•
Students are responsible for their lifelong learning, but
schools are also equally as responsible for a student's
learning, tus education should be geared towards
developing the student's love and interest in learning to
prepare them for their transition into the workforce
8. How the author's article align
with the purpose of education
•
Today's education system is based on memorising
facts and skills instead of integrating and using
knowledge. Students are not prepared to utilise
the concepts and skills learnt in schools in their
daily lives
•
Examinations are designed to assess knowledge,
and not the application of knowledge that is
extremely important in today's fast paced world to
adapt to changing circumstances
9. Changes to implement in the
Education System
•
Assess students on the way they adapt to problems and
apply the knowledge that they have learnt to solve the
problem
•
More emphasis on experiential learning through internships
with companies
•
More enrichment and sabbaticals in short periods of time to
promote experiential learning and to learn a different skill set
•
Introduction of projects competition to develop collaboration
and independent learning
