Is the current educational system found within Western societies enabling the younger generation with the necessary knowledge and skills that will allow them to tackle future problems in the world? bYxRQ

The reason why you know what you know is because your ancestors have decided to share it with you. Compared to other species in nature, we have very effective ways of transmitting knowledge and information from one generation to another. Luckily for us, it has allowed us to strive as a species whereas others were led to extinction. This effective mechanism of knowledge transmission relies on important decisions that leaders of any generation must take regarding what information is worth transmitting to the younger generation as well as how it must be transmitted in order to be applied effectively. Reflecting upon this important responsibility that must be tackled by the older generation found in present days, is our current educational system within western societies enabling the younger generation with the necessary knowledge and skills that will allow them to tackle future problems in the world? After careful analysis and reflection, it is with shame to admit that we are dramatically failing to prepare the younger generation for the world upon which they will be asked to contribute in the future. Firstly, the current method of presenting information through hypothetical examples and artificially constructed problems failed to render a realistic view of the world and a sense of purpose to the younger generation. The majority of assignments a student will be tasked to accomplish during his educational journey depend on established axiomatic reasoning upon which he must adopt in order to successfully complete the task. Additionally, the expected outcome of any assignment is either right or wrong, which consequently prepare the student to solve problems which have either a right or a wrong solution. However, realistic problems that the student will encounter within his future life will not be clearly defined as well as lacking any established paradigm about the correct reasoning process to adopt in order to reach a successful solution. Furthermore, any task the student will likely encounter in his future do not have a clearly define right or wrong answer. Therefore, a young student that has been thought to navigate a world where any problems have established method and binary solution will most likely feel confused during adulthood where he is being tasked to perform in a world where problems are not only lacking methodologies, but more importantly are simply not defined. Moreover, the current grading method where mistakes are rendered as the worst nightmare any student could encounter during his educational journey lead him into a state of mind where fear inhibits any creative action. As previously mentioned, any important problems the world will be facing in the future has no predefined path upon which one must travel in order to find a solution. The only method that increases the chance of success to any unsolved puzzle is the joy of iterated failures and creative attempts. As a result, the current younger generation is expecting a future world upon which failure is to be avoided at all cost in order to accomplish their dream of contributing meaningfully to society. Lastly, a student who knows all the answers to any potential question will be very ineffective within a world where he is being tasked to create questions instead of answering them. The current method of transmitting knowledge to the younger generation relies upon passive education upon which students are encouraged to passively listen and memorize facts to make sure they are capable of answering questions during exams. There is a false perception about believing that students attending a lecture are the one benefiting the most during the process as opposed to the teacher giving the lecture. Contrary to common belief, the teacher lecturing has the opportunity to not only enhance his understanding of the given subject, but more importantly enhanced is communication skills as well as becoming comfortable about facing unpredictable questions that could bring reflective instability. As a result, students are introduced into the practical world expecting to come up with the ability to skillfully execute as opposed to skillfully listen, which they have been trained to do very well during the last 20 years of their educational life. From a different perspective, comparing the current method of education found within western societies with countries lacking any educational system render it as an ideal educational process that should be imitated and encouraged. However, this perspective failed to acknowledge the importance of evaluating any educational process with respect to the cultural landscape upon which the student will be tasked to perform in the future. That is to say, the younger generation found within countries lacking any structured educational process will not face the same kind of challenges that the younger generation found within western societies. Within a future upon which any repetitive tasks have been automated by robotics, creative thinking is left to be the desired skills upon which the current generating should be thought to excel at. Therefore, in my opinion, it is safe to claim that the younger generation found within western societies is failing to receive the proper education that would allow them to have the necessary knowledge and skills required to tackle the challenges they will likely encounter within their adulthood. As a potential avenue, a transition toward an inquiry based educational process could be established where the students are left with the task of rationally assessing potential problems and solutions under the guidance of teachers guiding their thinking through open-ended question with goal of letting the student develop their own proof of what they think the solution should be. With these principles, the student is actively tasked to find creative solutions as well as encouraged to fail in order to gain the information that comes out of the unexpected outcomes. Additionally, the student becomes a master practitioner since he must actively find ways to test different hypotheses as well as assessing the potential paths of interpretation and their consequences. Altogether, since we have been gifted by nature the ability to think creatively and explore the most mysterious territories, it is to our interest to enhance this creative ability within our younger generation.
