Quote from another thread:
I just see a communist school system as being voluntary, that students are there to learn what to learn, I can't see many students simply wanting to learn of history yet it is easy for them to learn of it through passive teaching (which media is better at) for example telling history through telling of a story (of course you'd have to point out what is history and what is fiction that exists only to entertain).
(...)
with serious documentraires the masses could easily build a understanding all without classrooms.
Your ideas, what would the schooling system look like in Socialism, from elementary school level to highest doctoral scientist levels?
Who would decide what is taught?
Who would decide who is qualified to teach, and how this qualification is measured?
Would something be obligatory to learn (for example, reading/writing and math skills)?
Which study subjects would be voluntary, at each level of schooling?
Would all students proceed at same speed, as one social group that stays together for many years, or would they proceed each at their own pace, according to personal potential and willingness to learn each subject?
Who would decide what studies are obligatory for qualifying to work in each profession?
Which languages would be taught to students? Would Socialists create a common universal language, at least a sign language for the deaf (which is different in each country!), maybe also a Lingua Franca (esperanto vs. English vs. something else), and possible even a wordless pictographic ("hieroglyphic") icon language...?
