The admission process in US universities will close soon, and most future students have occurred on a wait list. In case you are on a wait list, this means your university application has neither been denied nor accepted, as wait listed applicants know the final results of their university application by June and July.
The education programs in the US spend too much money training teachers to coach instead of teach. Our educators are trained to perpetuate the notion of the acceptable amount of knowledge rather than to enlighten children with critical thinking. No longer are youth taught to question, to revise, to better their predecessors, but to attain the bare minimum required by outdated modes of thinking; student’s miss out on a broader learning, an understanding of the world and a drive to better the evolution of society. Students who are not taught to question their learning will never question the words, the implications, of their environment.
Many developing countries, which normally follow the western trend, could not keep up with changes that involved constant adaptation of new teaching methodologies. Reprinting of new textbooks and retraining of teachers, for the implementation of those groundbreaking new techniques, were not within their budget. As a result, they had no other choice but to stick with what was working for them, and kept the ball rolling. Why try to fix what is not broken?
