“Changing the consciousness of the oppressed, not the
situation which oppresses them…” This would be my first solution to changing
the educational system. In order to make
this change, we need to have the same goal and be able to acknowledge the flaws
in order to fix them. Some people choose to turn a blind eye and not resolve
the problem because in their bubble, it’s still manageable and safe. But if we
can open their eyes so they can realize that there is a better world and life
to achieve, then we would be able to start the process. My second solution is
to teach our children to love what they are learning. Sir Ken Robinson says
that our current educational system dislocates us from our talent. We focus on
manufacturing on a linear level and not to innovate on an organic level , thus
hindering our ability to feed our spirit with excitement to learn. If we take the time to discuss, rather than just
teach and rush onto the next lesson, we will be able to connect our emotions to
the information, making the learning process more enjoyable. And according to
Krishnamurthy, we can educate ourselves to not just find a job, but also find
the true meaning of life.
Finding the solutions to the education system will not be
easy to implement. Changing the mindset of people to take a risk will take
time. People would rather be machines and go through the motions of getting a
job, rather than seeking the full reason for life. It will take a while for us to see the effects
of our hard work. Once we establish a process with willing participation, it
will be rewarding.
