It&rsquo;s a natural process.</p> <h3 class="heading" id="ratio-of-components-in-education">Ratio of components in Education:</h3> <p>50% Knowledge/Understanding, 30% Skills, 20% Experience.</p> <h3 class="heading" id="education-vs-academics">Education vs Academics:</h3> <p>Education and Academics are not the same thing. Academics is Education based of a curriculum and an institution. Plato discovered the word while describing his school of philosophy.</p> <h4 class="heading" id="academics-system-has-evolved-with-time-and-got-worst-lets-see-what-the-system-has-become-nowadays">Academics system has evolved with time and got worst. Let&rsquo;s see what the system has become nowadays:</h4> <ul> <li>Wrong ratio of knowledge, skill, experience (knowledge takes about 90%).</li> <li>Generalised curriculum for all students.</li> </ul> <h4 class="heading" id="extra-bad">Extra bad:</h4> <ul> <li>Goals are only bound to exams/grades, degree or certifications (year 1088), then getting jobs.</li> <li>Unhealthy pressure and competition for students.</li> <li>Money game.</li> <li>Politics.</li> </ul> <p>Education as a concept/implementation/system is good. Academics is good only as a concept. It&rsquo;s implementation and system is always the worst and corrupted.</p>
