Changing Education Paradigms

February 23, 2011 GB General Education

This presentation discusses the past and current problems of the system of education, which I believe are true in most countries, and the efforts to uplift it. I agree with most of the arguments in this presentation especially the part where, some of the time, formal education diminishes divergent thinking of learners. With the way the teachers teach in our country, I think this is quite true.

What do you think about the presentation? I would love to hear your opinions.
