R esearch has exposed the classroom system as archaic; the school system has failed to adapt since the industrial revolution. Teaching experts have researched and developed new forms of learning and demonstrated how they work, but incompetent and corrupt politicians have ignored these superior methods.
A Meritocratic state doesn’t throw money at the problem. Rather, a meritocratic state is all about finding and engaging intelligence, about putting the smartest people to work. The Meritocratic motto is “Don’t throw money at a problem! Use intelligence!” Experimentation, passion, creativity, and the smartest experts in the world—these are the forces that will improve education. Money alone will never be enough. What we need is the experience and intelligence of our brightest educators and researchers—the meritorious. Meritocracy doesn’t just make resources available; it gives these experts the power they need to create a next-generation education system—one that will lead to our Star Trek future.
