Education systems all over the world are based on the idea that students get and remember information from teachers and books. These systems test
this knowledge with standardized tests which compare students to each-other. They only test the
kind of information which is possible to measure in
tests. The goal is
gaining information, not developing skills by which to use and make information
. Unlike the old style of education where people
remembered things in

world calls for a new kind of education in which the
focus is deep
understanding, creativity, and information management skills.
