According to a new poll, half of our 13- to 27-year-olds can’t see the point of all those time-wasting elections and parliaments. Why do they not know that authoritarianism is worse?
Upvote for David Mitchell. It’s a depressing statistic though. The myth that we need a benevolent dictator needs to expire. Seems indicative of the defunding and malaise on the education systems.
I’m curious about the difference between “13-18” and “18-27”
In any case - I do think this type of mindset is a great argument of why functioning education system IS NOT a 15 year job program, or a fast lane to STEM.
We absolutely need to think of education in a much more holistic view - it is just as important that people become informed citizens in society than just cogs in a machine.
I agree, it would interesting to see the delineation of those age groups. There tends to be more group-think in the younger groups so I would expect more uniformity there.
Again agree on taking a holistic view. I mourn the deprecation of humanities in education. It’s part of the holistic view when combined with history to provide the how and why and help us make more informed decisions.
