An Indoctrination System

THE education system appears to be the primary contributor to the current state of ignorance that we live in and when looking deeper into the issue it is not at all surprising to me that our politicians have taken greater control and influence in education. Once people have the power to oversee education it seems that the result tends to be that they use the system of education to indoctrinate the children into a compliant mindset towards the government, while in reality limiting their mental development, resulting in a populace that can effectively perform the functions they are employed to do but unable to understand the level of control perpetuated over them.

They basically become ants in a colony, all serving a purpose but lacking in true understanding of universal reality.
If you allow people to pursue an understanding of what has triggered their curiosity you will see how incredible the potential of the mind is as these people will never lose interest in learning. They will become enamoured when they are able to understand what they hope to understand and this will only inspire them to want to understand more.
On the contrary, when they follow a rigid curriculum with an emphasis on testing, the result is a population that dislikes learning and thus the education system actually produces a population that is not only mis-educated, but wants nothing less than to become ‘educated’. Make no mistake, education and certification are two separate things.
The way forward should be that the system must by all means necessary open up space for auto didacticism.
