Passage
Conventional classrooms, by emphasizing fixed duration over learning effectiveness, resign themselves
to variable outcomes. The tyranny of the classroom is that every learner is subjected to the same set of
lectures in the same way for the same duration. In the end, a few learners shine, some survive, and the
rest are left behind. After the fixed duration, the classroom model moves on, with not a thought spared
for those left behind. This is how we end up with 10 percent employability in our graduates after a
decade and half of formal education. Repeating the same ineffectual script in the realm of skill education
will not produce different results.
