On 1st November 2017, I posted a link recommending the article titled\u00a0Why The Degree is Dying (and being replaced by something better) by Isaac Morehouse \u2013 Founder & CEO of Praxis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Five years earlier, on 13th November 2012, I'd written an experience based blog post titled\u00a0A New Generation of Entrepreneurs PROVES That Our Schools Need To Offer a Different Kind of Education!<\/a><\/p>\n

That earlier piece voiced my concern about the serious need for a total overhaul of the formal schooling system which most societies continue to operate, despite glaring evidence that it was becoming less and less relevant to the real world learners would have to enter!<\/em><\/p>\n

The obvious implication is that nothing has changed, and our schools continue to offer what is effectively irrelevant education.<\/p>\n

College is dying.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not referring to the institutions\u200a\u2014\u200athose will probably survive for a few more decades.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m referring to the paradigm.<\/p>\n

A paradigm where in order to acquire education you have to:<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Select a single field of study.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"degree-dying\"<\/p>\n

    Continue reading...<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

    The truth is that parents today need to take control of their children's education and ensure it it customized for each child, based on his\/her natural abilities, talents and genius.<\/h3>\n

    If you are a wise parent, you will take this warning and make needed changes for your child's sake, before it is too late!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
