When one say the educational system one immediately imagines a large factory where people work hard; no one takes a moment to ask what is actually being produced there. Are the products good? Bad? Everyone agrees that they earn too little money but no one really knows what for.
If, at least, they were to say were producing “knowledge” or “education” , then it would be possible to measure the quality of their work . In education there is much pretension and just as much responsibility. International tests are not necessary to see the results of education , because the results could be anywhere, everywhere. The system’s product is not a matriculation certification but rather the young adult himself, his worldview and the way he gives expression to it.
We are always challenged with the different changes in our educational system. We are confronted with many issues. “ What is good and worthwhile so easily gets lost among the rubbish”, when things get rough we overlook the most essential thing, that our teacher in school taught us to be responsible. We were taught to supervise every single thing in our possession because our teacher taught us how to manage it.
Education system equips the nation for the forthcoming test of life that it will experience. The fascinating promises of money and the glitters of gold are only one of the trials that a simple citizen might experience on the forth coming election and the results that we will see are just a manifestation of the kind of the product our education system has.
