State Education: Indoctrination in Teaching—How to Solve the Problem of Education

As I explain in this video, state education was not designed to 'educate' students and society as a whole, which is why there is indoctrination in teaching with state education, so in my argument, how to solve the problem of education would be to remove the government and move towards a free market. There is plentiful evidence to show that private education can be widely accessible, cheap and affordable for parents to send their kids to school and the difference, not only does the parents have more power, but kids have more choice.

State education teaches redundant information that either is no longer required in the job market or useless subjects which will never find students work at the end of it, therefore, in my argument a free market education system would enhance, not just the quality of education, but efficiency.

As I have mentioned, the state education system stifles thought discouraging independent critical thought and is part of the indoctrination in teaching. In state education you may end up with large classroom sizes which is troublesome for teaching as teachers can't possibly get around helping every student, whereas, in a free market education system, there is more one-to-one interaction with students helping their learning and development.

The TedTalk video I highly recommend you to watch in Glasgow on the private education you can find here:

What the evidence proves is that contrary to popular belief, private education is providing greater access to education for students at a cheaper cost in these poorer developing countries. It is for this reason that free market education in the late 19th century was widely accessible to the masses and was dirt cheap compared to education costs today in the U.S. Therefore, the key how to solve the problem of education is to get government out of the market, out of the economy to allow the free market be.
