Comment on Questioning Status Quo, Revisiting Role of Education by nedamoayerian

Thank you very much for your thought provoing post ,Yousef. I totally agree with you that each of us has the “potential” to question the status quo and maybe the power to change the structural inequalities; however, I am very skeptical of our current educational system with its neoliberal perspective. I think unfortunately, we are moving more and more towards training automatons who mono-functionally try to solve technical problems rather than targeting the roots through a holistic approach.

Thank you very much for your informative post. I especially like the way you approach the grading problem by focusing on students’ self-interest and choice. Autonomy over the content and method of learning is definitely one of the most important (yet forgotten) aspects of education which can, in my view, positively impact one’s personal development.

Thanks for your thoughtful post Ali. I think as you mentioned, maybe another way to overcome this punitive dissuading educational system (omnipresent to some extent) is to gradually distance ourselves from the current one-size-fits-all sort of curricula and moving towards more flexible, individually crafted kind of programs.
