The high school education system, or any learning set-up for that matter, is designed at a certain phasing that is expected to fit the majority, if not all, of the students' learning curve at the age bracket it was meant to support.

A popular fictional example of this is Hermione Granger ...

I once heard someone saying that school education is a basis for all the knowledge we earn in the coming years. Prima facia, it is a well known fact. But when I deeply thought about it, I found a lot of examples where people who excelled in their studies in schools, failed in real life, and vice versa. Thus I began to think, and when possible, discuss with others, how much knowledge and skills they earned from school, is being put to use at the job they are handling. This led me to another question, “Is all this stress given to ...

Introduction

Education is a vital component for the growth and success of Britons, but with a wide range of schools to choose from, it is no easy task for parents to make the choice of school for their children. The choice becomes more difficult when the school system is categorized into two types, private and state.

But having said that, neither all the private schools are best in education quality nor all the state ...

On the other hand, Wolff sees the university as the pursuer of simple truths in various areas and the institution responsible for the preparation of young people for the pursuit of these simple truths.

While all these perspectives are true in their own rights, it is this paper’s contention that Kerr’s assertion is the most defensible. This paper will discuss why the university is a loose federation sufficing for the satisfaction of diverse needs.
