The education system in the western industrial countries is designed for mass production of labour that can be used in the work process. The same curriculum is presented to thousands of people in the same age group. Those who can cope with it get ahead in the system, those who cannot get along with it fall out and have to look for alternatives. However, individuality is only provided for at university level, where students are able to compile their own study plan for an individual diploma course and have it approved by a commission. Why not start with first grade elementary school?
The economy needs workers who meet certain profiles. The system is based on coercion and in principle contemptuous of human beings, because it repeatedly produces graduates who have no chance on the labour market and who are often looking for a job for months or years after graduation. It is clear why individual diploma studies are the exception: most students consider themselves to have better chances if they correspond to a given profile. However, many do not consider that the most adapted are also the most interchangeable.
The education system demands but does not guarantee success on the labour market. In the worst case, one sacrifices one's entire youth for the occupation with things that do not interest one, and stands afterwards on the street. In addition, individual talents and talents are not sufficiently developed.
My vision is an individual education programme from the age at which you normally attend first grade primary school. Those who know from the outset that they want to work in a profession in which they do not have to be able to read and write do not have to learn.
