My response to the question ¡°Does the education serve the purpose only when it fulfills the individual needs and caters to the interests of each students ¡± is that not always. The system of education nowadays can be divided into three stages: elementary education, secondary, and senior which are achieved by grade schools, high schools, plus colleges and universities. Only senior education, I think, can be specialized ,by contrast, the elementary and secondary education should be carried out with all basic courses involved.
Most of the Pupils or even high-school students may not be aware that what are they really interested in. Once I forwarded this question to my ten-year-old sister, and play Dune ( a kind of computer game ) is her answer. Can we especially open a course to satisfy her such interest? Of course no. And also, studentsÂ
On the other hand, when make a mention of senior education, things are contrary. university student is mature enough to find himself what is he indeed interest in and decide which field is best to devote himself to. As the knowledge are always compared to the ocean, with limitlessness, nobody can have a scrutiny into the whole. Hence individual education is needed. With regard to the students , it is always the case that unless the subjects interest them, they can not excel in that area or contribute much to the subject.
In addition, it should be taken into account that means of imparting education must be feasible. If we let every student to choose his own curriculum, the extant educational system will not satisfy the various interests of each student, anther large number of teachers , realias, places or something else are required.
