Ep 18 - Growth Mindset & Education

 

Today we are going to talk about learning, formal education, mindset and about how war shaped the world wide school system!

 

When we are young we naturally do hard things: learning to walk, speaking in your mother tongue, and if you're in a developed country then almost 100% of us will be lucky enough to get a formal education by attending primary and secondary school to learn reading, writing, maths and science, etc, but as we get older we start to do less and less learning in a formal environment.

 

After you learn to drive and you pass your test, or after you finish secondary  school, then the percentage of people that stick with formal education of some sort and enrol in college or university drops to between 38% in the UK, to 50% and 61% in Australia and America respectively.

The numbers for apprenticeships or trade courses are even less.

 

So, why do we stop learning?

And more importantly, why do we have teachers and educators for things like algebra, English literature and physical education, but we don't have people to teach us essential life skills?
