It struck me in mid conversation with friends the other day, as we were looking at a college prospectus, talking of what we thought our kids might do next, and someone said about how in Japan they don't do art or dance type further education; that it is all mainly maths, science and business studies based.
What struck me was that in Japan they are encouraging their young people into careers that will further their country whereas we do encourage ours to go for something they'll enjoy and "get something from" whether this leads to a career or not.
Should we be looking to further education for pleasure as an individual or should we be looking at something that will work towards the good of the whole??
