I no longer believe that the current education system is able to equip our children for a fast-moving future. Technology has evolved so rap-idly in the last five years that to put a child in an education system that was designed for a future that will most likely no longer exist for the majority, seems almost absurd.

About This Quote

Education is not the key to a successful future. The lessons we are taught in school are not the lessons that are going to help us deal with the world in the future. The lessons are good for when things are slow moving but when things are moving so fast, they are useless. Technology has changed so quickly that it is difficult to keep up with all of the changes.

Every year in school there are new fields in which students can pursue. A student in college will have several classes in which he must attend each week with each class being taught by a different professor. This is not just an education problem, it’s a society problem.

Society is still stuck on the idea that you need to go to school until you are 18 years old if you want to become successful.
