Why doesn't the current education system create a Vivekananda? || Acharya Prashant (2019)

Questioner (Q): What is the purpose of our current education system? Why can’t this system produce more Vivekanandas? What will it take for the system to create one?

Acharya Prashant (AP): Every system is designed by someone, for some purpose. Can you blame the car if it doesn’t travel to the moon?

Q: No.

AP: Why? Isn’t it a serious shortcoming that the car isn’t able to fly up to the moon? Why don’t you blame it? Because that was not the designed goal. The car is perfectly fine at doing what it has been designed to do.

What has it been designed to do?

Q: It has been designed to move on the road.

AP: It has been designed to be a terrain vehicle, it has been designed to horizontally scan the surface. So it does that.
