Geoff Mulgan - Learning to Innovate

[@jack28aug]

The problem lies in the yearly appraisal style of schooling which prohibits students innovation and creativity. It aims for better exam results but the students don't retain much of the information and find subjects boring because they are not taught to connect the dots between different subjects and how it all relates to one another. Such as the connections between all the sciences and maths or history, Geography, religion and literature. We got shifted from class to class and teacher to teacher All it did was narrow our options of education and work based on performance.

You can't make kids decide what they want to do so early in life and assign them a future career. This is just privatisation that will lead to competition by companies aimed at the better performing schools to "bagsey" potential future talent. The lesser performing schools will be given away to companies for future repetitive strain injury jobs.
