The English school system is one of the greatest globally, yet it is out of date and

inadequate. Compared with other education systems, it ranks as one of the best, but does

that make it satisfactory?

Most education systems worldwide, including ours, are built to produce employees. The

hours are designed for the industrial age; the Henry Ford era, whereby Dad works in a

factory 9-5 and Mum stays home. Dad can drop the kids off at school on his way to work,

whilst mum picks them up around 3 pm, leaving her with enough time to cook the evening

meal which the whole family can enjoy.

Although society has seen significant advancements since the industrial age (women’s

rights, technology, average age), our schools’ format has failed to adapt.

I don’t want you thinking this book will continue throwing hate at the education system. Once

passed the introduction, the chapters are focused on the subjects schools could teach to

significantly improve their students’ lives, success, and happiness. That includes all

students, those still attending, that have left and those that didn’t attend or barely did.

Will the Education system change as a result of UnEducated? Most likely, no. The

government wants employees; they will only change if the students produced are more

effective employees and can reduce their spending or marginally increase it.

It is our responsibility to learn how to live happy and fulfilling lives, and teach that to the next

generation, whether through school, unlikely or through our example and experience. In this

book, you will find my philosophy on achieving just that - the good life - through a

combination of your personality and skills.

Please bear in mind; I write to understand. In the words of Ray Dalio, “I am a dumb shit”.

Challenge all the ideas raised and determine for yourself whether to accept them.

Enjoy.
