Upon hearing about Studio Schools that are spreading across the UK, I was very curious as to how their way of teaching could change education worldwide. It certainly keeps students engaged, but would an education system like this eventually cause the world to get rid of colleges and universities? Check out what Geoff Mulgan has to say about Studio Schools:
This new model of education could get young adults straight out into the work force right out of high school and could save families thousands of dollars each year as students are in the work field instead of sitting in an over-crowded class room. You could go straight into your field of interest. But what kinds of problems could Studio Schools lead to? Would college eventually be eliminated as we go back to learning through on the job experience like people did back in the Renaissance? Would children feel even more pressure to do what their parents want them to do instead of following their own dreams? I believe this new system, although great for some students, could really be harmful to childhood development and creativity.
