The traditional education model is
more than 200 years
 The system continues over 200 years
ago … create another employee

Can you think of any other industry
today with the potential to remain in
business 200+ years in the future
without adapting adequately to change?
To capitalize on potential growth and
development
 An increasing number of minimally
educated people who would
voluntarily:

Be in a certain place at a certain time
every day,
 Remain in that place for eight, ten or
perhaps 12 or more hours a day each
and every day,

Perform rote and routine tasks (many
of which were agonizingly repetitive),
and
 Perform these rote tasks day-in and
day-out without questions.


That if the goal was to provide a
steady stream of people ready and
willing to perform routinely and
habitually, then education was clearly
the solution
Rebellion against “irrelevance” in the
curriculum
 Narrow professional assumptions

We continue to crank out thousands of
future employees each and every year.
 This same education model remains in
effect to this day.
 No desire to see beyond 30-40+ years
of ‘earning a pay-check’.

“If a farmer accustomed to working
the ground with hoe and the spade
spent his life working without
thinking, he would never have thought
about improving his tools.”
- Tsunesaboro Makiguchi (1930)

We need not necessarily rely upon a
single path to get us from points A
and B – a single model for educating
and preparing students of all ages for
the future … for life.
The education and training needs
specific to men and women who are
and would like:
 To become self-employed, or
 Who might want to become
employers, or
 Entrepreneurs
