    SCHOOLS NO LONGER PREPARE YOUNG

    PEOPLE FOR THE REAL WORLD

    Andreas Buchanan 28/02/2019
    Have you asked yourself how relevant to the real world
    is the History that we still study at school? Some of my
    friends learned about the World Wars whereas others
    studied the Industrial Revolution, none of which
    proved very useful to any of us when we left school.
    Wouldn’t it be better if there were more school

    subjects that were relevant to the real world we live
    in? Subjects such as finance and how to balance a
    household budget.

    In 2017, a Stem Trust report found that some students
    had never carried out their own experiments in

    Science, relying instead on passively watching the
    teacher conduct the experiment and noting down what
    happened. Members of the Stem Trust welcomed the
    idea of more practical work in Science, with more field

    trips to museums, laboratories and research centres.
    According to major computer companies such as
    Apple and Microsoft, more people who know how
    to code will be needed in the future, so information
    all subject
    technology needs to be integrated across
    areas, and not just taught as a separate subject in a
    computer laboratory once per week.
    Considering all this, isn’t it time that the education
    ministry had a complete rethink about what students
    should be learning in schools nowadays?

    Suggested answers/ideas:
    a Schools no longer prepare young people for the real world
    b Andreas Buchanan
    c 28/02/2019
    d Education for all and that the school system needs changing to teach more relevant
    and useful subjects that students will be able to use in the future
    e That schools are outdated and need to teach more relevant subjects
    f Anecdotal evidence about the History that was studied and the Stem Trust report of 2017
    g Fairly convincing as it is logical and the evidence supports the argument made
    h Buchanan, A. (2019). Schools no longer prepare young people for the real world.

    This is the only information learners have, but they would probably add the website address
    if this article were online and put the date they accessed the article.
