Yes ! we need a “full scale revolution” in our “ Educational Institution”. We do not need “a remedy” or “a repair” or “an improvement” as these would not yield the fruits we are aiming at. We need to “bid farewell” to our “Volume Driven Education” and move fast to “Value Related Education”. We ought to admit it: our educational system ( if an “anarchy” could be called “system” ) stands behind all of our problems : our vast and deeply rooted political apathy .. our inability to work as “teams” and not as “scattered islands” … our inability to pick-up the economic niches that we could excel in … our non-quality related performance… getting further isolated from the march of modern technology, management and marketing techniques…our (“intolerance” to otherness and to “criticism”) … and our rejection to the values of “civil societies” (yes! .. I dare to say “civil societies”).. and many many other defects are all to be attributed to our current “Volume Driven Education” where our people learn to live always with “Monologue” rather than with “Dialogue”.

The linkage between “Education” and the possibility of producing a large cadre of modern executive managers and business leaders is a crucial dimension of the sought “Education Reform Campaign” that most of those who write on education neglect. This phenomenon is a natural product of the segregation we have between “education” and “life”, a segregation that existed in all centrally planed economy regimes and contributed to the overall collapse of the system in these societies (Eastern Europe, The former Soviet Union, and several third world countries). In a few words, education’s prime target is to participate in the improvement of “life quality”.

And as the Arab proverb stipulates “what could not be realized fully – must not be fully lost” , we must start a complete “New, Modern and Value related Educational System” even if we can only afford to achieve this, at the beginning, in the form of “pilot projects” or “centers of excellence” with a combination between free and non-free of tuitions education, (on the premises that the “ables” will finance the entire project including for those who can not afford to pay tuitions).

Hence, we must stand firmly and strongly before the “DEMAGOGUE” opposition to this “call for a full scale revolution in education” – i.e. the opposition of the safeguards of the doctrines and notions that drove our educational system to these “Medieval Conditions” with schools and universities that continue to produce this army of passive, non competitive, dogmatic and fanatic graduates! … graduates that can not cope with the requirements of the modern work systems.
