"..creare globally recognized tests that define mastery, which ignores whether the student has come upon that knowledge at Oxford or by sitting in his basement watching videos"- Salman Kan
The world is changing. Ability to access data is so great. If a person makes it a goal to learn a subject and can pass a test at a reasonable level then they have mastered the material.
All a particular school provides to a person is credibility. They grant a diploma that states taht the person attended courses and passed exams required to reach a certain level of learning.
The biggest hurdle to doing the above is that schools provide a system that is recognized. Employees look to that system as an input. If the employers are willing to accept the results from a recognized tests, then the world opens up and anyone from anywhere can reach for any job.
In my opinion this could be a very interesting business opportunity.
Today's question is:
"Would you hire a person who self- taught themselves for a job?"
