Education fit for kings and queens

 

Past system

The current system of education was designed over 100 years ago. We need a new education for the future. Of course there have been many changes and updates but the basic elements of the way we teach or what we teach have remained the same. What do I mean by the same system in place over many years? Education was designed to create workers for companies.

The people created by such a system are more likely to be compliant and obey managers who are the very few who manage to break through the ranks. They are mostly interested in keeping the status quo.

At the turn of the 20th century, the chances of people starting, running and passing their businesses over to the next generation were very slim. Hence very few people even aspire to start their own businesses. For those who did, the aspirations and dreams of the business owners were limited sometimes due to few examples of small organisations growing into larger ones.

Entrepreneurship for the future

Over the last couple of decades though, there has been examples of smaller growth companies that have done spectacularly well.  We can all relate to them. Entrepreneurship is now a buzz word and entrepreneurs are the new heroes.

Now most universities teach  entrepreneurship and to get that create juices going, you may need to study for an MBA. Why wait, why not start teaching children from an early age to be prepared to start their own businesses. This will help them to develop their passion and get them thinking of the future where they help others.  This is because the future of work is changing and will be different in a few years.

Education for the future

Education needs to teach children to dream to be the kings and queens of their own future. They must believe that they have their  lives in their hands.

Research shows that many of us are unhappy at work, this unhappiness sometimes spill over into our personal lives and can affect our well beings, so let’s at least start from the beginning and get things right for those coming behind. Let’s get their foundations right as we strive to improve the lives of the current adults.
