Education between Technology and Values

Abstrakt

The world as we know it is rapidly changing. All of that for which educated people have been working for so many years seems to be losing its value due to the quick decisions, passivity, deep-rooted hatred and lust for power. Ubiquitous technology offers us numerous attractive possibilities, thanks to which we can zhoosh education, change the system and support younger generations. As can be observed in modern schooling, these new approaches are ineffective; they place importance on quantity instead of quality. Teachers and students became enemies, even though they should be allies. Through a quick electoral decision and infatuation with sweet lies, people enable the spread of hatred towards other people, negation of their needs and suppression of the urge to make changes, not just in the educational system but also in different areas of modern living. What the current education system is missing is the opportunity to actually apply knowledge outside of school, outside of university and considering individual interests. Otherwise, we just land up with the production of officially educated people, rather than actually educating people. No one can satisfy everyone; however, through education and responsibility, man can strive to change the system into one which will be more supportive for other generations, and most importantly, prevent past history from repeating itself.
