Education

A Government Plot

After over 100 years of compulsory state-run education, 50 % of all New Zealanders are now below average intelligence. Schools are nothing but a government plot to turn kids into mindless, unimaginative zombies.

So to ensure everyones survival amidst the flamboyant revitalisation of the GREAT LEAP BACKWARDS©, it will be necessary for the McGillicuddy Serious Party to start medieval training programs (1) to positive downskill (2) the peasants.

A Lifetime of learning

Once the Great Leap Backwards is complete, the Clan will take over the full responsibility for all teaching and learning, which will be recognised as an ongoing process lasting for the whole of ones life and thus the school leaving age will be raised to (at least) 65.

As society will be experiencing very little change, jobs are likely to remain consistent over generations.. Once again, years of experience will yield expertise not redundancy. A McGillicuddy Serious Government would introduce compulsory apprentiships for all. At various stages of their lives everyone would be both student and teacher. Novices will gravitate towards the masters within the Clan best able to serve her or his needs and desires, and then in turn, pass this wisdom on to the next generation as required.

Teenagers will be abolished and children will once again take on responsibilities at an early age.

Over time education in New Zealand will evolve into the perfect supplier of society’s real needs. This surely is the goal of all education systems, no matter how elaborate or informal.

Equal lack of access for most.

There will still be one person educated at everyone’s expense; The Monarch. On being chosen, the royal infant will begin a lifetime of travelling from clan to clan, with their entourage, learning all the things needed to be a great King/Queen, such as oratory, compassion, fairness, a sense of humour, and being able to deal pleasantly with annoying people. It enables the Monarch to rule what will be the entire known world stylishly, amusingly, competently and fairly
