I remember watching a YouTube video explaining how our education system has been the same since inception. I probably learnt more doing an internship in an established company as compared to sitting in the classroom discussing possible solutions to real world problems.
Based on your suggestion, a school should be an operational company instead. Sending students to short courses and then immediately applying their skills.
Plus getting the students to decide what they want to do in their life and providing them with all the necessary tools to achieve this particular thing. Most young people are lost because nobody tells them that they have to find something they want to do and stick to it.
