Opis

As society has changed over the last century, the need for change in education methodology is ever increasing, if schooling is to be a pleasure rather than an endurable experience. The author questions the reasons behind the pervasive focus on facts and suggests that exam oriented learning trivializes the importance of the process of education in its entirety.
