Our Current Education System
A 2015 Gallup Poll of nearly a million United States students revealed that only 32% of 11th graders feel engaged by school. Why do you think that the majority of students don’t like school? Are the students misbehaving? Should we force them to go to school?
Well, this resistance towards school is generally a result of the Education System. A significant number of people who are working, don’t consider their time in school to be an interactive experience.
The Education system has a typical approach of forcing students to study all the subjects and passing the traditional knowledge without thinking about the student’s approach towards the same. Most students even after passing out high school don’t know what their interest is, and what they should choose as their career.
On top of that due to society’s and parent’s pressure, many students suffer from depression, low confidence, and most importantly they leave students with no choice but to opt for the traditional and safe way of choosing a career, i.e, a degree and a job.
How Mindvalley came into existence?
Vishen Lakhiani, Founder of Mindvalley and various other startups and author of the New York Times Best Seller book, ‘The Code Of The Extraordinary Mind‘ had the same problem with the education system as a child. After graduating and finding that the traditional way is not suitable for him, he came across Meditation and that’s when his life changed.
