Build a world class personalized Education System

This post is my personal opinion. There are three types of knowledge in my perspective

1. Fundamentals - The basics of maths, physics, chemistry that underlines every concept we relate to
2. Technology - The innovations/discovery that runs in the technology that is built on the fundamentals
3. Experimentation - The gaps that connect the Fundamentals and Technology with meaningful experiments

I do not believe in Multiple Choice Questions, paper-based expertise. They are good but every method of teaching has their own drawbacks. Outside our regular education, we need to have a constant learning setup, the mindset to experiment, stay curious and generate more ideas. It takes a lot of learning, gathering new perspectives to be creative and passionate about things we do. A personalised education means able to access student is good in fundamentals, theoretical concepts and build the necessary bridge to make the next steps concrete that allows him to build his expertise. We have a disconnected system where we are not encouraged to connect the dots and build a larger system. Education ends when the grades are out.

With such a large pool of students why we are not able to get innovation at grassroots. The system that encourages questions, experimenting and creativity only can lead to innovation. With AI I believe those days are not very far. Access to quality educational content, the ability to provide personalised education is just a few years away.

I believe the intelligence, passion and curiosity to solve will be 10X more with all these resources in place to build a more intelligent, passionate and curious learning mindset.

Keep Learning!!!
