Quote of the Day on Self Learning And Death of Credentials

Says Richard Kaalgard at Forbes Magazine (Hat tip: Professor Arnold Kling)

“Self-learning rules. We are at the beginning of the Death of Credentials. The ROI for 95% of college educations will be negative.”

That’s just one of the insightful “10 cheap revolution” or “creative destruction” rules cited by Mr. Kaalgard in today's transition to the information age.

This has been one of my themes wherein I noted that online learning has the potential to pop the inflating bubble at the Philippine Education System.

And also, if self learning and death of credentialism determines the jobs or career of tomorrow, then what good is it to extend the domestic education cycle?
