Keep Education Free

Education should not be institutionalized, once it is institutionalized it becomes a mere program of indoctrination where a group of administrators(policy makers) prescribe a dose of pills(courses/subjects/framework) that will create a desired individual and a desired society while they suppress the gifts and the talents that the individual is born with. This is part reason why we are having many depressed individuals in our society today, this individuals are trapped in"careers" they do not enjoy, their lives are miserable because they are trying so had to be "accepted" by other fellow patients of Institutionalized Education.

Today we are confronted by a new reality, a reality that requires constant innovation and creative out of the box thinking, we are quickly getting out off that age where we needed "trained" individuals for a specific task, those "trained" individuals are being replaced by trained machines that do the job faster and better, the whole reality of"go to school, get a better job and live a good life" is being disrupted, now its "think out of the box and live a good life". So tell me, how can you possibly think out of the box when you were trained to think in a box with very high walls and a governing system that ensures you do not do as you wish but instead you behave as they(administrators) wish?

So let us remove the walls, the policies, the frame-works and make education available, let us De-institutionalise education. How do you make education available outside walls and frame work?The answer is supplied by 4.0, we distribute it through the World Wide Web and smart phone technology, the TV and Radio medium can also be utalized. This makes education available to anyone at anytime in any place and gives the individual the flexible choice to choose the education she wants, a choice is not imposed to her and she does not end up taking science because she wants to belong in the group of "the smart ones in school", she instead chooses to do what she wants and loves. No machine will ever replace the job you love.

Already many people are beneficiaries of this de-institutionalized education, tons of people are finishing online courses and opening lucrative businesses, others learn the craft they like through youtube and others save a lot of money from the tips they get from the money saving program on 702 or soweto tv. But of-course we have to simultaneously deal with other issues on the side that might make the outcomes of this approach to education fail, Number one is the issue of access to the internet in South Africa, we have to bring those datas down and make them affordable to the working class and the unemployed, number two we have to create a conducive environment for our people to be able to start and maintain their businesses, not run up and down forever trying to fix compliance issues. If we get this out of the way, we will keep up with the "think out of the box and live better" reality we are confronted with.

Institutionalized education has been the enemy of the peoples progress for far too long, it had maintained the status quo for far too long and will continue to do so if a new approach to education is not given a chance. No matter how much the fees fall, the agenda of Institutionalized education will not fall.

This approach must not be rushed, our country is hostile of change, blame it on the inferiority complex inflicted upon our people by the apartheid regime. We need to enroll this steadily, starting first as partners of institutions. When this approach outgrows the institutions, it is then we can go and preach the gospel to our communities. But like I said, people are already using this approach of education, but they are in minority,we need to expand the
