Description
The book is titled Un-school Me , it is a book that focuses on empowering people to take on self-education as compared to the traditional institutionalised education, it encourages readers to allow themselves to follow their passion and nurture their talents so as to realise success.
The book takes a brief tour into the life of the author from the day he was introduced to the education system up until he graduated at higher level, at the same time analysing the critical points that cause conflict due to the nature of the institutionalised education system, the author places a main emphasis on the behaviour of students against the institutionalised education system, and the results it produces for those students who fail to memorise literature taught to them.
The author also places great emphasis on believing that part of the reason we live in a society that lacks creativity and independence is because children are subjected to subjects of no interest from the day they are introduced to schooling until the day they are employed as adults, leading to loss of interest in daily employment.
The book clearly states that education is not discouraged but more focus should also be placed on self-education, and personal growth for ultimate success. This book also criticizes institutions with the author believing that old, obsolete material is taught to students in an ever fast changing information world; today s institutionalised education still focuses on materials developed during the industrial age whereas we are in the information age, the ages of advanced technology that requires no rigorous literature to master.
As Peter Drucker once stated Since we live in an age of innovation, a practical education must prepare a man for work that does not yet exist and cannot yet be clearly defined. Yet today s education continuously prepares a man for work that has long passed its prime.
