Book Review: One Size Does Not Fit All: a student‘s assessment of school by Nikhil Goyal

Episode 1.6 - One Size Does Not Fit All:  A student’s assessment of school  by Nikhil Goyal

 

We discuss elements from the rich text of Nikhil Golyal’s book on education, which creates many insights and outbreaks of epiphanies. 

 

Why do we foster a fear of failure despite knowing how important it is?

 

What happened to curiosity? How have we crushed it?

 

Should students invest in the stock market rather than in university?  

 

How are we teaching? 

 

Do we really need to group students by grade? Or should we do it by interest? 

 

Why do we regiment children? 

 

How much of what we do is about optics rather than about context and action?

Why does the educational system remain static while society moves ahead?
