I applaud your enthusiasm and hopefulness. I truly do, otherwise, I wouldn’t be writing this response. My advice is to take your fight and invest your positive and young energy in the right arena. Where it will make a difference.

Systems don’t change. If they do it means external factors have forced them to. More often than not they then simply fold.

The status quo is the neo-liberalism we today live in and which has penetrated every pore of our society. The EU Bologna Agreement is a powerful example. Which Wiki defines as “ a series of ministerial meetings and agreements between European countries to ensure comparability in the standards and quality of higher-education qualifications. The process has created the European Higher Education Area.”

“Ensure comparability in the standards and quality” means exactly that…. A bureaucracy of paperwork, checklists and score metrics replacing the very essence of learning. Killing off all opportunities for differentiation and all cultures of diversity.

If you really bother to ask why….well that too is clear “Higher Education Area” What is meant here is Market. The true driver is the commodification of education in Europe, turning students into uniform and tradeable units. This process will continue, with your fringe efforts to uphold the illusion of educational credibility. Ok, let's remain positive, perhaps make it a little less bad.

I gave up on this system (and left). The future of education lies outside the status quo system. In humanity-oriented platforms like the Khan Academy, the many whom are sharing all their knowledge online. And most important of all the actual skills one has acquired by doing. Expect also a rise in the future of apprenticeships.

Learning to learn has very little to do with schools. Our current education system has become a liability.

But heck, we have known this already for half a century. Ivan Illich in the ‘70s, Ken Robinson in the ’80. He even speaks of “education's death valley” killing human creativity. (the driver why George Lucas create Edutopia and Lucas Education Research), and the hundreds, often very good, documentaries like Alphabet all echo the exact same message. Yet nothing has changed in Mainstreet. Don’t expect it to.

If you want to revolutionise education seek the outer fringe, as it’s from there that the wind of change will blow. Until that time, all the kids can hope for is that their paths will cross with someone who perchance still is in education and will inspire them to reach great heights. Like with Adel. Another brilliant teacher that left teaching ….

To survive in our current system good teachers like her have to burn their candle at both ends. That's why they shine brighter. The rest don't and become cynical to be able to remain. Sad but the hard truth.

Therefore, please ask yourself whether that's the future you want for yourself?
