Presently. Education focuses a lot on what to think, and not how to think. The scale of this in the UK is hard to measure compared to the USA, so this one is operating under the assumption that it is equal or at least somewhat as bad.
That being said my suggestion would remain.
Education as it stands appears to be very bad at discovering Talent. We need to ensure Talent can be discovered and nurtured more effectively. Research on this should be carried out and pursued.
Secondly, a focus on political theory in certain age groups would be recomended. Not to teach ideology, but to recognize ideology and understand how opposing ideologies are, not which one is correct, but, which ones have had success vs failure, the specific and true history.
For example, it is Absurd that many British people do not know that Nazism is a Radical left wing ideology. Or that Nazism and Fascism are different.
The Allies simplified all of the Socialist ideologies by simply calling them all Fascism. Including National Socialism, communism, and Fascism itself.
This should be Taught.
Bringing me to this, key subjects
Certain key subjects should have dedicated lessons.
British History: Focusing on the accomplishments of our nation, and its bad actors. To show every nation no matter how great has its bad actors, but they are not speaking for the totality of the nation and its success.
five hundred years of glory is not ruined by one individual.
I would also recomend including a dedicated course on Mad Jack Churchil.
Every Boy should know about this badass.
A British Culture class. Teaching specifically about British Culture, everyone should be able to point to the many things that make up British Culture.
From food, to theatre, to our political nature.
Iām sure many people have ideas for types of classes that we could include, why not suggest some?
While we do not wish to bombard children with too much information, there is a lot of waste we can swap out to introduce this more healthy study.
