from the view points of people that in power who want obedient workers, how do they make the

education system produce more obedient workers?


There are several ways in which those in power may seek to make the education system produce
more obedient workers. Here are a few examples:

1. Standardized testing: Standardized tests are often used to measure student achievement and
hold schools accountable for their performance. However, some critics argue that these tests
can be limiting and do not adequately measure critical thinking or creativity. Moreover, the
emphasis on test scores can create a culture of compliance and conformity, where students
are taught to memorize information and regurgitate it rather than think critically and solve
problems independently.
2. Narrow curriculum: In some cases, the curriculum may be designed to focus on a narrow
range of subjects, such as math and science, while neglecting other areas, such as the arts or
humanities. This can limit students' exposure to diverse perspectives and discourage critical
thinking and creativity.
3. Authoritarian teaching methods: Some teachers may use authoritarian teaching methods that
emphasize obedience and discipline over critical thinking and creativity. This can include
methods such as rote memorization, strict rules and punishments, and limited opportunities
for student input and collaboration.
4. Limited funding: In some cases, schools may be underfunded, which can limit their ability to
provide quality education and support critical thinking and creativity. This can lead to larger
class sizes, outdated materials, and limited access to technology and other resources.

It is important to note that not all people in power want to create a society of obedient workers, and
there are many educators and policymakers who are working to create more inclusive and equitable
educational systems that support critical thinking and creativity. However, those in power who do
prioritize obedience over critical thinking may use some or all of these methods to try to shape the
education system to their liking.

which countries have education systems are relatively more like what's described above and which
countries are drastically different?
It is difficult to make a definitive comparison of education systems between countries as they can
vary greatly in their approach and goals. However, some countries have been recognized for their
innovative and effective education systems that emphasize critical thinking and creativity, while
others have been criticized for prioritizing rote learning and obedience.

For example, Finland is often cited as having one of the best education systems in the world, with a
focus on student well-being, teacher autonomy, and hands-on learning experiences. Singapore, on
the other hand, has been criticized for its emphasis on test scores and rote learning, which some
argue can stifle creativity and critical thinking.

It is worth noting that education systems can vary within a country as well, depending on factors
such as location, socioeconomic status, and cultural values. Additionally, education systems are
constantly evolving and changing, and it can be difficult to make broad generalizations about them.
