Schooling the World

Instead of focusing education around the world on Western values, such as the pursuit of money and climbing the corporate ladder, it should be focused on the local beliefs, culture, and economic background. Global education should not be the beliefs of one dominant country, as that limits our ways of thinking and solving problems. It is important for anyone who is going into education understands the issues brought up in this documentary. It was executed in an impressively artistic way. My views on education in developing countries completely twisted and expanded. This documentary provided insights on many Western educational flaws. "Those who are branded as failures have a wide variety of capacity to think in different ways, that's being suppressed and lost. While those who think in one-dimensional ways are being supported." This quote from the documentary says a lot about the flaws in our education system. If we educate the world with one single pedagogy, then how are we going to get anything done? How are we going to find new and innovative solutions?
