>>11772247I would create state sponsored learning modular system which could freely be done online for education credits/certifications.
The structure would have suggested paths based on many factors, along with a complex interconnections so people can branch their studies. Some major factors I can think of are
- learning types, as not everyone learns the same way
- learning objectives, what are they trying to get out of it (i.e. understanding, fun challenge, career, money, ...)
- civil demand, publicly known preference formula to help balance study demand at large (i.e. support other subjects so society's job market doesn't get flooded a few year later with everyone jumping on the next skill bubble, then busting with collapsed wages.)
- knowledge type, focus on applied knowledge (get things done) vs fundamental knowledge (know how things work) vs discovery
The goal is to allow people to learn what they want and help them find way to apply that knowledge so they can improve themselves and society. There would also be several required sections to insure everyone has the minimum skill set, similar to high school but with more flexible learning options. An army of support educators would be active to keep it all running, and in class and hands on units would be available or even required in relevant cases that can't be automated. Limited high level target certifications would be done by public matches based on merits, and
Additional social supports for social skills development would be pushed by a parallel system involving a mix of sports, rec classes, online gaming, and other routes to help people build social skills needed.
The whole point of all this is to enable people to build their own education which also meets the needs of the society, so we get the most win-win outcomes. People would make informed compromises based on demand data so they could balance their interests with lifestyle goals.
