21st Century Realities and the Imminent Collapse of the Conventional School System

The Conventional Offline Tutoring will soon go into Extinction: See what Prudent Teachers and School Managers are doing.

The Startling Statistics

´ Do you know that in the next few years, the conventional brick and mortar school system would go into extinction?

´ At present, there are around 45% of the world’s literate population already studying online. And experts have predicted more than double of that in the next couple of years.

´ Recent survey conducted among the high school students in The States shows that over 80% of young people have enrolled for one online course or the other within this period with a feedback rating of A+.

´ Offline teaching opportunities are going down each passing day, giving room to the surge in online tutoring opportunities. Wise teachers are taking action already to position themselves. Where are you now?

Why the Offline Brick and Mortar School System will Collapse

The imminent collapse of the conventional brick and mortar school system is not just a prediction, but an inevitable phenomena that would be both striking and startling that those who are not prepared for it would live to regret their indifference.

Let me show you some of the factors that will lead to the collapse of the current system and structure of our schools.

#1. The collapse of the macroeconomic structures with its attendant consequences.

I have been saying this for some time now as an intuitive management scholar and financial analyst. Thanks goodness, I again heard Dr Kiyosaki repeated the same line recently: the macroeconomic structures of the world is collapsing, and there is nothing that can be done to remedy it at the governmental level, especially with the kind of government that is not ready to tolerate the transfer of wealth to its citizens. The reason for this is a discourse for another day.

But one thing stands out. The turn of the century comes with it a shift in paradigm for a reason only the gods may be able to interpret. Wealth creation and economic control is now in the hands of individuals and no more in a central government coffer.

What’s the consequence?

High cost of living, leading to high production cost. Then government will levy high taxation on organizations, including non-incorporated outfits. School owners and managers will increase fees for tuition in order to break even…

Guess what!

Parents will withdraw their wards from schools…

But it doesn’t stop there.

#2. Unprecedented Security Challenges.

With the collapse in the macroeconomic structures of nations, comes the high cost of living. There will be mass collapse of companies as a result of insolvency. There will be mass sacking of workers. There will be so much suffering in the land. Then with the unabated corruption of government officials, only one thing will follow…

High rate of crime!

I tell you, the crime rate in the coming years will be so much that kidnappers will target buses carrying school children; they will even go to schools in broad daylight to kidnap school children.

The reaction…

Parents will withdraw their wards from school.

#3. The continual upsurge in Online Solution.

Some might ask: If parents withdraw their wards due to high tuition fee or security challenges, what happens to their children’s education?

Friend, there are many free online solutions offering great quality services you don’t see in our offline settings. A lot of parents are already exploring them today. Meanwhile, in the next few years, every parent will acknowledge the head-to-head advantage of online solutions over the offline provision, and they would never look back after that.

Online Education has so much advantages that would make it a darling of every parent. Think of:

§  Cost effectiveness: Do you know that most of these online learning platforms are free, yet they offer more than one can bargain for?

§  Global interaction: With online learning platforms, learners can learn from their peers across the globe, thereby benefitting from cross-cultural interactions that enhance learning.

§  Ease of learning: Online learning offers the level of convenience never found in the offline structures. A child can still learn even when there is an adverse weather condition; at any time of the day; at his/her own pace.

§  Quality materials of different formats: The best and most updated learning materials today are online. Surprisingly, most of them are free. Moreover, these learning materials come in different formats- videos, voice, worksheets, images etc- and are prepared and taught by highly qualified professionals. Every learner group can do well with online learning solutions.

§  Reduction in teacher-parent confrontation: The usual bickering we experience between teachers and parents over the question of school fees drive, child’s rough handling, name them- are completely eliminated or at worst, reduced to the barest minimum in online learning platforms.

You can see that many parents will readily opt for online learning solutions for their wards in the face of the coming catastrophe.

What Prudent Teachers and Schools are doing.

“Fortune favours the bold and abandons the timid”.

There is no other better way to interpret this age-long saying than seeing it as an allegory of what the reactions of today’s teachers and schools are in the face of the imminent collapse of the conventional school system.

As a teacher, are you still dreaming of job security in that school job?

What do you think will happen when parents withdraw their wards and off to online learning platforms? You think the school owners will still keep you in the payroll?

Dear teacher, you need the basic training on skills that will help you remain relevant in the field.

For school owners and managers, the only way to have these parents and their wards patronize your school is by providing a learning solution that guarantees a convenient way of learning. And only a digitalized and online learning solution makes this possible.

This is the right time to set up the supporting structures for tomorrow.
