The media has published an analysis of the current state of the education system.

We bring you the full text of the analysis as shared by media outlets:

“When we were children and went to school, there were kids who stood responsibly behind what they had or hadn’t learned, without blaming others. Back then, when a child said, ‘It’s not my fault, the teacher doesn’t like me,’ their parents would usually respond, ‘Don’t blame the teacher for what you didn’t study.’ Later, we began hearing more and more that ‘the teacher doesn’t like our child’—a child that’s supposedly perfect and definitely knew all the answers.

Then that child grows up. The one who never learned the meaning of ‘work,’ ‘responsibility,’ and ‘obligation’ struggles to grasp those same values as an adult. Now trapped in adult bodies, these children refuse to come up with ideas beyond what’s required of them, won’t stay a minute longer at work, and don’t want to make a difference in their immediate surroundings. These adults won’t start with their own ‘yard,’ won’t bring in fresh energy or enthusiasm, won’t help a colleague or cover for one. But do you know what they say in the end? The teacher has now been replaced with the word ‘system.’ That modern term which ‘doesn’t see, doesn’t hear, doesn’t care,’ making it pointless for them to try at all.

It’s this intangible force that’s blamed for everything. The system prevents us from being hardworking, different, dedicated, from having vision. The system won’t let us teach, grow, contribute, help, or commit. The system is at fault. The teacher is at fault. Everyone’s to blame. But what about us?

Are we aware that we should first change ourselves? In the end, that’s the only guaranteed change we can make, because we are one small cog. And all the cogs together form the system. If you’re complaining about the system, you’re actually complaining about yourself. The system doesn’t have a name or a face. We do. Through our names and our actions, we show knowledge and work. No one else can or will do that for us.

Once upon a time, we were taught to work for the satisfaction of doing a good job, to contribute—not just to be rewarded. If your motivation is solely the reward, why do we talk about money and numbers, and what message does that send to our children, other than that everything is about material gain? If we wait for someone else to do everything for us, what’s our purpose?

Children grow up, the young move on, and we wait. We don’t know for what, but we’re convinced it’s never the right time to give our best. And so, we twist the narrative. We say we want a better system. But we don’t understand.”
