It may well be that when explored from the very purpose of education we determine that organizing a learning environment in a hierarchical militaristic organizational structure that uses static information sources and that prizes and rewards rote memorization, basic analytical skills and obedience to higher authority. But until we have agreement about the purpose of formal education systems and structures we cannot reasonably answer whether those choices are appropriate or not. And as long as we can’t, we are forced to continue advocating for a system which, on its face, seems to be a complete failure at creating an engaged citizenry and a productive and engaged workforce. So the purpose of education is to perpetuate itself, and fight of all comers that may force it to reexamine its delivery mechanisms and methods, no less its reason for existence.

I think Education is a very important matter and never should be ignored. People in education should get rewarded for there hard work. Just to show that all that hard work was not done for nothing. And the more they are willing to learn the better future they have.
