Matching education to reality

This is a series of blogs I'll be posting reflecting to my trip to N-Korea (NK) this September. This headline popped into my head after reading today's paper about reality check about education getting you ready for todays reality. All our kids are going to be entrepreneurs and at least in Finland this is not taken very seriously and education is focusing on making the best in tests. I know in Asia it's all about getting prepared to tests. So how far are our so called successful educational systems from NK system where everything focuses on serving one purpose only?
