What an incredible change through the years we have seen in the automotive industry. And what about the smart green buildings compared to the no electricity ages…Even in the health industry now we are saving lives with methods far, far away from the past…
And what about the education? No changes. Everything is the same.
We all want young people to be pro-active, adaptive, flexible. To think in future, to plan better, to innovate and to create more opportunities for themselves. We cannot expect this to happen when we don’t teach them about future but teach them in the past only…
Now it is the right moment for us to CHANGE, to INNOVATE, to break the red tape and to give to our young generation power and freedom to think and learn … in the future.
THE ISSUE
Students’ thinking is changing fast. The old educational approaches cannot keep them staying in the Academic halls anymore.
Nowadays, it is hard to choose a University to study in. Many times not all disciplines in the University’s program are interesting for the student. Preferring one University instead another always means that the student compromises and loses the opportunity to learn some interesting disciplines which are in the academic program of the not-chosen University. Why does it happen? Why are the academic programs not customized to fit all student interests and requirements? This demotivates the students to really learn and prepare themselves for their professional life and this impacts the people and business development at the end?
THE OPPORTUNITY
Universities are in a situation that needs change of the methods they prepare their programs. They need to align with the needs of the business — the companies that will hire the students. What is important for the business to grow should be incorporated in the universities’ disciplines better giving the students more opportunities to fit better in the professional world.
An opportunity is raising for the Universities to collaborate with them and to guarantee to the students most useful combination of knowledge areas. Each student could be allowed to choose what to learn from disciplines of different universities while studying in one of them and to receive an accredited diploma for his Bachelor, Master or higher degree. This approach is going to increase the motivation for learning, number of the students and will bring more knowledgeable people to the Business.
HOW
Blockchain technology is here to facilitate. Using its potential we can store and make transparent and accessible thousands of courses from different universities across the world. Each University can create a backbone of the educational program and students can reach and learn from the sources and disciplines of other universities and academic institutions, related with the main subject of the education.
The courses will have ratings so the universities will have a feedback on their value for the student and the hiring companies. The companies will give their view on which are the most valuable courses for the students to fit better in their business environment. This will help the academia to adapt their programs to be more useful and more interesting and to better serve the needs of the business.
THE ADVANTAGES
Using the Blockchain this can be done at almost no cost for both student and the university and it will be time — saving also. The business from the other side will achieve a higher level of the successful hiring of well educated, flexible and adaptive employees.
And students — they will keep their minds fresh. They will have the opportunity to reach the unlimited opportunities of learning and to develop themselves as open-minded professionals looking to the future.
Why do we need to think out of the box? Just think that there is no box!
