I'm curious about the difference between "13-18" and "18-27"

In any case - I do think this type of mindset is a great argument of why functioning education system IS NOT a 15 year job program, or a fast lane to STEM.

We absolutely need to think of education in a much more holistic view - it is just as important that people become informed citizens in society than just cogs in a machine.

I agree, it would interesting to see the delineation of those age groups. There tends to be more group-think in the younger groups so I would expect more uniformity there.

Again agree on taking a holistic view. I mourn the deprecation of humanities in education. It’s part of the holistic view when combined with history to provide the how and why and help us make more informed decisions.
