Primary school education prepares pupils for secondary school instead of preparing them to face life.
Only a small fraction of secondary students reach higher levels of education, yet secondary schooling is largely a preparation for university. These earlier stages are not self-sufficient; each is a preparation for a more academic phase, not a preparation for real life and work.
The essential functions of both primary and secondary education has been to alienate pupils from their native society and the culture of sheer hard work by making them scorn it.
Our education system is too academic. Children are taught very little about the real world of work and family they will have to cope with, and fails to produce the right mixture of life skills that can give them sustainable employment.
