The bright hope for the future is that our emerging information society requires true education. In this brave new world one has to really know and understand. Getting 60% right answers is no longer good enough and will get you fired not promoted. And - never will one confront the possibility of having to decide which one of five answers is the correct one. You have to know and understand, really know. And - you must continue to know throughout your life and mostly educate yourself and you cannot get away with faking it, cheating or simply getting by. We can no longer afford to play games and keep up appearances in this reality-based world and the just-in-case ancient academic curriculum is of little use. If you cannot apply the math you know you don't know it no matter how many school tests you passed. If you can't work well with a team solving a problem, if you cannot think independently and teach yourself what you need to know there is no bright future for you. In this new reality years spent sitting at a desk listening, memorizing information and immediately forgetting it will no longer suffice. Test scores and elaborate standards mean nothing in this performance-based situation. Only what you really know and can do matters.Art of using knowledge is more important than just having knowledge, ability to compose knowledge, experiance and resources has become key success indicators of your future. approchfor education and knowledgein future is becoming limitless and endless.
