Cultural institutions don't get designed around the narrow goals that they were initiated for, they morph into the goals of all the people who set them up and sustain them. Yes it would be good for students if we refactored education around their needs, but if that movement took off, it would itself morph again into the needs of this new round's set of participants, which would include employers, the working public, the retired public, the experts that teach etc. I don't see an insightful analysis by the author describing the incentivized participants of the education system, so I'll just slot this into the opinion pieces by wannabe experts looking for a job.
