All criticize low education levels, but certain
communicators make money flattering the ignorant.
In Latin America we complain
about the low level of education that our people have. When we are judged by
massive international evidence is clear that we have much to improve.
The reasons for this lag are
many, many of which probably have little to do with budget allocated to
education, the low professional level of teachers, inefficient management of
human resources in charge of education.
There are also political
reasons. It is false that politicians wish to govern a town illustrated
fashioned able to analyze, critique and communicate effectively verbally and in
writing. Politicians remember that almost all revolutions begin in the most
socially educated layers. The ignorant people are easily controllable, have
authoritarian governments and the state controls the lives of all.
Governance are easier when
most are gullible, low frustration tolerance, childish enough to be guided by
the "love is power”, predominantly magical thinking that leads to having
religious, dogmatic, superstitious beliefs, predisposed to idealize any
sufficiently charismatic character.
Observe what happens to the
media.
On many occasions, we receive
reviews that try to make us believe that the rulers are fools, if the reader
will take his place would make things better; levels ridiculousness of the
leaders are unusually comical, that the rich are all corrupt and thieves that
teachers make nonsense that no reader, with minimal education would.
This journalism is telling the
ignorant : you possess true wisdom, knowing you were born, no need to waste
time studying what you know is better than the powerful decision makers.
I am inclined to think that we
have a strong hypocrisy: we all agree that we need to increase levels of mass
education, but certain communicators make money flattering the ignorant.
