FUNDAMENTALS OF EDUCATION (EDU 101)

Education is necessary for personal development and societal transformation and, globally, school enrolments have increased significantly since 1909. But there is a learning crisis arising from the fact that fewer pupils/students are self-motivated to study. There is an urgent need for paradigm shifts in the education content, curriculum, learning environment, and teaching methods. Aside from a need to mainstream training on ICT, emotional intelligence, and other necessary skills into all educational areas and fields, star performance in today's workplaces and markets require persons who can know, think (to create valuable content or products), and sale at the same time. Market intelligence has become a fundamental skill. This is the age of best sellers. You must not just be intelligent, but must learn, think and sell intelligently. In today's intelligentsia age, ingenuity, venturesomeness, versatility, and salesmanship are the marks of dexterity and star performance. Accordingly, the education establishments in countries must be reformed to turnout graduates that can compete favorably in today's intelligentsia age.
