Failure to change focus: Shifting focus from rote memorization to Fostering Critical Thinking: As information becomes more accessible, the ability to think critically about it becomes increasingly important. Schools should prioritize teaching students how to question assumptions, evaluate arguments, and understand different perspectives. This not only helps students make informed decisions but also prepares them to engage thoughtfully in a diverse and complex world.

Nothing could fail the nation and school children more than an obsolete time-wasting faulty education system. The 21st century demands an education system that goes beyond traditional-knowledge-centric, rote learning and futile recitation practices. It must focus on the latest knowledge and evidence, helping learners dispel false claims and equipping them with essential living skills. By doing so, education can prepare students to thrive in a rapidly changing world and job scope, fostering critical thinking, adaptability, and a commitment to lifelong learning. This holistic approach to education not only benefits individual students but also contributes to the development of informed, responsible, and engaged global citizens.

Throughout history, societies that adapted their education systems to the demands of their times thrived, while those that did not stagnated. The Industrial Revolution serves as a prime example: countries that reformed their educational systems to emphasize literacy, numeracy, and vocational skills rapidly advanced, leading the world in technological innovation and economic growth. On the other hand, nations that maintained outdated educational models fell behind, unable to meet the needs of a rapidly changing industrial landscape.

These failures can be seen as a breach of the government’s obligation to its citizens. Governments have a responsibility to provide an education that meets contemporary standards, ensuring that students are prepared to contribute meaningfully to society and the economy. If the education system remains rooted in outdated methods and content, it falls short of fulfilling this obligation. This could potentially open the door to legal challenges, as parents may claim that their children have been denied the quality and relevance of education that they were promised by the state. Such a scenario could lead to lawsuits demanding compensation or systemic reforms, as the failure to deliver an effective education could be interpreted as negligence on the part of the government.

The stagnation of the education system could contribute to a brain drain, where experts and highly skilled professionals choose to leave the country in search of better opportunities abroad. This exodus of expertise weakens the nation’s ability to innovate, grow its economy, and improve its own systems, including education. When professionals perceive that their own country is not keeping pace with global standards, they may feel compelled to seek environments that better value and utilize their skills.

This combination of a stagnant education system and the loss of talent to other countries creates a vicious cycle. As more experts leave, the country’s capacity to modernize its education system diminishes, leading to further educational decline and more brain drain. This cycle not only threatens the future of the current generation of students but also undermines the long-term development and competitiveness of the nation as a whole. Thus, parents and society at large have strong reasons to demand urgent and substantial reforms in the education system to prevent both the betrayal of students' futures and the loss of valuable human capital.

Historical Precedents of Educational Transformation : Throughout history, societies that adapted their education systems to the demands of their times thrived, while those that did not stagnated. The Industrial Revolution serves as a prime example: countries that reformed their educational systems to emphasize literacy, numeracy, and vocational skills rapidly advanced, leading the world in technological innovation and economic growth. On the other hand, nations that maintained outdated educational models fell behind, unable to meet the needs of a rapidly changing industrial landscape.

Today, we stand at a similar crossroads. The Fourth Industrial Revolution, characterized by advances in artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and information technology, demands an education system that fosters critical thinking, creativity, and adaptability. The old model, which prioritizes rote memorization and the passive absorption of information, is ill-equipped to prepare students for a world where knowledge is constantly evolving and easily accessible.

Promoting sense and sensibility among school learners in a pluralistic society is far more important and unifying than emphasizing religion. In a diverse society, students come from various cultural, religious, and ethnic backgrounds, each with its own belief systems. Focusing on religion in schools risks deepening divisions and fostering a sense of "otherness" among students of different faiths. Instead, nurturing critical thinking, empathy, and respect for differences can create a shared framework for unity and cooperation. Teaching sense and sensibility encourages students to approach problems with logic, fairness, and open-mindedness. These skills are essential for resolving conflicts, understanding diverse perspectives, and fostering peaceful coexistence. In contrast, religious instruction can sometimes entrench dogmatic thinking and exclude those who don't share the same beliefs, leading to discrimination or intolerance. Furthermore, promoting emotional intelligence and social responsibility helps learners navigate the complexities of modern, multicultural societies. It fosters values like compassion, respect, and justice, which transcend religious boundaries and are universal to humanity. By cultivating these qualities, schools can prepare students to contribute meaningfully to society, ensuring that they value human dignity and equality above sectarian divisions. This approach creates a stronger, more cohesive society rooted in mutual respect and shared values, rather than one fragmented by religious differences.
