CMV: Modern education must focus on interpreting and applying information rather than simply memorising it.

Most information taught in school is completely redundant and of little practical use. Today in the age of intrrnet, we have access to any piece of information we want, so there is no point in memorising it. If randomly i needed to know the boiling point of ammonia, i wouldn't rely on my memory from 8th grade, within a few clicks i would have it in front of me.

There are already free and certified courses for all types of studies. Rather schools should teach how to better understand what is available online and make sure only accurate and proper information is taken. This will also help students explore on their own and come up with different ideas, not cramming the same paras.

Students should be encouraged to access information on their own and how to do it, this will also make them better understand internet as a whole and all its antiques along with what you can trust and not.

Edit: I dont mean to completely scrape away memorisation. At an elementary level itis important. But certainly not for like 85% of your education.

I agree that utilising the internet and research should be a key part of modern education - but we dont want to rely so heavily on it that noone can cope anymore in the event of an internet outage, solar flare activity, etc. 

But also without understanding how things work, there would be no advancement in the future. You would just be left with people who are great at research facts, but not at developing the understanding needed to come up with more theories, ideas and advance the human race and our technologies.
