Funding is a huge issue that only keeps increasing year on year. The population is growing yet the budgets are shrinking. I think that the education systems should get a bigger piece of the budget pie. As to how to do this, as Australians our government just blew $122 million AUD dollars on a vote that should never gone to the public so they could just do there jobs and we could start there.
My other huge problem with the education system today is the size of some of the classes, and having to teach to the lowest denominator. With more funds we could potentially do something about both of those.
Side note, I think some countries have great education systems, some that are lacking and some that are non-existence, the ones that are non existent are the ones that make me saddest.
I agree. I think we are going to move away from government sanctioned education because of many of these issues. Funding and other such issues can be solved with technologies like the internet and blockchain... Teaching to the lowest denomator can be solved by highly personalized a.i. that learn about you while you learn and then adapt the course to better suit you.... Great things have arrived and are coming for education and we are seeing that governments are unwilling to adapt to these new technologies, so we will have to adapt without them.
