RE: "Breaking the Cycle: Promoting Education as a Solution to Poverty in Third World Countries"

I have a conflict with education. Traditional education should die fast. Most education at the moment had been kept artificially expensive and wasteful. Not just in resources but also in time.
Traditional educational systems have been design to be painstakingly slow and had become limited on the scope they take on. In third world countries, they have even been used as an indoctrinating system for political purposes that completely escape the goal of providing knowledge and reach opportunities for them to succeed.
However educational systems still have a strong hold on the population's mind with the dream of creating success.
I think education has seen a lot of changes and innovations that unfortunately have been 'subdue' and capped in order to make it easy for the bureaucratic system to digest more than the learners to take advantage of it.
I think people that need help should be the first to be able to compete in the market and get an income with competent material that can enable them quickly accomplish economic goals.
This notion is not new as it's the basis for most of the trade schools and schools that enable you to quickly get a job in a car workshop, woodshop or kitchen.
While college and universities take a longer time in order to have doctor's and lawyers with PHDs and Masters.
However technology has changed this situation as more and more demand for highly IT skills are needed and the attainment of this skills are no longer regulated by schools or degrees.
This make it easy for any 12 or 15 year old to invest in online learning and be able to perform in a couple of years online.
Is this child labor? Well, not in the traditional sense. A 13 year old building a NFT collection and selling it online can be the new 'lemonade stand' or ' loan mowing' of this decade.
But this can be a career online that can be monetize in a few years if not months.
So let's view education for what it is as opposed to what it has been, which is a wasteful, ineffective and bureaucratic political cartel.
