According to the speaker, what is the aim of education?
What subjects does the speaker think should be included in the national curriculum?
There are two fundamental tasks it should help us with: working and sustaining good relationships
In order to address these needs a future national curriculum might specify that the following subjects be studied
Firstly, capitalism. A subject like maths should be geared to teach its number one utility for 99% of the population: dealing with money.
In a perfect school system, you'd also then study a really big second subject: Yourself. Individual tutors would be on hand to help students towards personality maps. Doing this would ensure that students learn a lot about how complex they truly are and what types of people they would be best suited to hang out with. A crucial unit would be devoted to career self-knowledge. What job are you best suited to? Students would spend three hours a week exploring what they might do with their futures. Then we would study relationships.
An ideal education system would emphasize the acquisition of skills that help people to live better together
Education wouldn't just be taking place in classrooms, media and the arts would be made to maximize their teaching potential and help to teach people what they actually need to learn.
