What is education? Why is the level of education falling? How can we prevent it? Who is to blame?
– Because they take children to schools and universities and say: go to school, then we’ll talk. Because we have the USE, because they have the USE. And the USE does not take into account that students who come to college with a purchased diploma, then there may be problems in the labor market. Education is not a school with teachers.
– But something can be done!
– And you can’t!!! You can’t. You can’t. It’s a system. Do you know why half of our officials are of retirement age? Because they understand: when the economy is good, you don’t need officials, and when the economy is bad, you need officials. That says it all.
Doesn’t anyone understand that the only real task of education is to practice two things: the ability to assimilate information and the ability to express oneself? Naturally, a student must have a keen interest in the information – this is the only normal mechanism of learning it.
And the second point – the ability to ask questions and answer them. By asking, the child learns to think and look for information. You should not force him to learn! And we always discouraged children from thinking, they think differently, they have different priorities. We thought they should work with their hands, you know, help, sit at the computer… If a person can’t work with their hands, they won’t learn. And if he can’t work with his head, he can’t be taught.
We have neo-liberal views, we cannot count money and know only one arithmetic: where to invest so much so that there would be so much so-and-so. We are not interested in economics, we are interested in indicators, in how to properly allocate resources so that there would be more of them.
You can’t do anything, there is nothing to do. How did it happen that in Russia business and government started to speak in English? Because the Anglo-Saxons are spies, and their job is to implement the policies that fit the national situation. And the national situation is a high level of corruption. What did we do? We were fighting corruption. Who fought it? “United Russia. They fought one of Russia’s main problems, corruption, and they succeeded, because corruption was in the country’s competence. But when they took over the economy, when they put themselves under international control, they instantly developed corruption. And this system can’t change. We don’t have a single large industrial enterprise that has not turned into a cluster. Foreign companies come there and start making things. And our oligarchs, they cannot operate without control.
