The Education Systems evolved through centuries have now become incompatible to the requirements of the Twenty First Century. Angry and Violent Students, Youth and Women demand Quality , Relevant and Affordable Education in vain. Though Schools, Colleges and Universities have emerged as an Empire, their sudden collapse or demise is not a remote possibility; it may happen at any time. Hence, Destruction and Extinction of Schools, Colleges and Universities are inevitable for their failure in delivering what the society wants. Education delivered through Schools and Universities is very crude and unscientific. Society is paying a very high price for the failure of Education from Kindergarten to University level. Their underlying philosophy is based on ' the chosen people' and therefore against the common people and against making knowledge accessible to the humanity. The angry Youth and Women are turning against Schools, Colleges and Universities. Education is on the Death Bed. Alternatives must be introduced using Science, Technology and Management Techniques with regard to Knowledge Accessibility and Use or Application. Knowmatics offers new possibilities to revive or save Education from total Destruction.

1. DR. RAJU M. MATHEW

2.  Everybody associated with Education believes that
Schools, Colleges and Universities are eternal or they exist
till the end of humanity. The Truth is, they are very much
fragile and on the verge of a great collapse.
 A Revolution in Education is the need of the hour and
written in the wall. It will become more evident, when an
alternative system of mass delivery of knowledge, values
and culture appears, using the redesigned technologies
and management techniques.
 The way in which Education has been conducted or
delivered is crude, unscientific and totally inefficient and
wasteful. The very identity or existence of
schools, colleges and universities has been questioned.
How ever, they flourish just because of ignorance of the
people.

3.  The existing education system has been evolved through the last
150 years mainly for creating clerks and technicians besides some
teachers, priests and artists. To spread literacy and ‘3 Rs’ among
the common people, education was made open to the masses.
 Imparting values and knowledge has been recognised as the basic
function of education. In spite of the heavy governmental
expenditure and spectacular growth of education as a means for
lively hood of millions of teachers and the supporting staff and
making profit for private investors, education is getting worse and
exposing its failure in imparting values and knowledge.
 Education has grown as an Empire, a weak and declining empire
without any proper direction and leadership. Learners are unhappy
for it is getting highly expensive and unaffordable to the majority on
the one hand and it is getting irrelevant, on the other. Nobody knows
who is to blame.
 .

4.  Nobody is happy with Education, except
those who deliver it. The Global Economic
Crisis and the subsequent Youth Or Women
Revolts, in the west and east, are the
indications of the failure of Education to
impart the Right Values and Knowledge or
Skill or Expertise at affordable rate.
 UNESCO, originally established to extend
education, science and culture to the
masses, is a big failure in these three crucial
matters, for its wrong philosophy and
methodology.

5.  Education, starting from Kindergarten to University, is time
consuming and very much labor and capital intensive. The
existing education systems are founded on the crude, primitive
and unscientific tribal values and principles.
 If we make a comparison between the time, money and tension
invested on a high school or university student and the total
values and knowledge that he or she is capable of putting into
application after leaving the school or the university, we can
calculate the wastage and failure of Education.
 If we add the drop out rates, the per cent age of
failures, minimum pass or higher grades or the top ranks or
grades, the wastage of education can be made more crystal
clear. But nobody is bothered about it. Even Information
Technology or Smart Schools or Universities do not have any
solution other than some unfounded claims or projections
having some advertisement value just like some beauty soaps or
creams that never make anybody beautiful!

6.  The actual return of Education to the entire humanity is
less than 5% and the waste of education is about 95%.
However, Education has grown into an Industry and Profit
–making enterprise for the private investors.
 The basic questions are: Does the humanity as a whole
need to spend such a huge capital, time and efforts or
strain for such an unproductive education, just for the
propaganda of those who deliver education? What is the
actual knowledge or values that it delivers to the society?
 People, especially the Youth and Women all over the world
are getting aware of the failure of Education and the
liability that it has created on the future. This is the
beginning of the end or death of Education for they have
been fooling the people or the society at large.

7.  It is high time to critically examine, how effectively
do schools or universities deliver Values and
Culture or at least Knowledge and knowledge-
related Skills, Expertise, Problem-Solving and
Knowledge Application Capabilities?
 In reality, schools and universities act as a safety
valve to control or limit the flow or accessibility of
Knowledge to the society. They are denying the
accessibility and free flow of knowledge or
expertise to the entire humanity for their rigid
structures and procedures besides their primitive
tribal values that attribute divinity to knowledge
and consequently, knowledge is meant only for the
chosen few.

8.  Even when illiteracy reigns in primitive
societies, there were scholars or teachers or
poets among illiterate who could transfer
knowledge verbally. Most of the scriptures were
in verse that people can store in their memory
and recall them easily and sometimes with their
own interpretations.
 Even in modern society, we can find less
educated or drop out with the ability to
innovate, problem solving and setting up
enterprises. At the same time, there are Doctors
or Ph. Ds without much knowledge or expertise.

9.  It is high time to liberate Education – Schools and
Universities from the Primitive Tribal Values that deny
knowledge to all, treating knowledge as divine and
meant for the chosen few. Chosen few is the creation
of the Primitive Tribal God who treats some tribes as
his beloved ones and the others his enemies to be
destroyed.
 It is high time to put Humanism as the core of
Education for ensuring free accessibility and
application of knowledge for the entire
humanity, treating knowledge as a product for mass
production, delivery and consumption. The God of
the Humanity treats everybody chosen or beloved and
not limited to any particular tribe or race or man and
his children.

10.  Knowledge, though intangible, can be treated as
a product of the human brain and a commodity
for mass consumption and production without
any divinity. Then, accessibility and application of
knowledge become the basic human right.
 Knowledge Production and Consumption are
mutually related. Mathew’s Theories of
Knowledge Consumption and Production provide
methodological tools to treat knowledge as a
commodity for mass production, delivery and
consumption. They are the basis of Knowmatics
and Knowledge Industry.

11.  It is wrong to treat Education as a part of Knowledge
Industry. In stead, Education can be revolutionized with
Knowledge Industry that ensures mass production and
marketing of knowledge products or services even
globally.
 With Knowmatics –based Knowledge Industry, Live
Knowledge Banks and Mega Knowledge corporations can
be set up to make knowledge, including values and culture
accessible to all and facilitate greater application of
Knowledge that too with one fifth time, effort and money
at ten fold efficiency.
 These issues and possibilities have already been discussed
and they can be found in the net in the form of power
point or video presentations under ‘Dr. Raju M. Mathew’ or
‘Knowmatics’ or ‘Knowledge Industry’.
