Anything you need to learn, you should have learned in kindergarten. Since you also most likely began cultivating in the womb, you should have reached supercyanide by nursery rhymes.
In primary school, you hone your calligraphy while sleeping with eyes wide open. You do basic math exercises while carrying jugs of water on either hand and balancing on a bamboo pole. You learn how to spell forward, backwards, and sideways while limbering and doing splits. You also make a mental list of friends that are potential bffs, disposable friends, usable acquaintances, frenemies, rivals that can help you break limits, and enemies you will have to get rid of as soon as conveniently possible.
In secondary school, same shit, between ten to a hundred times the intensity depending on the school's rep and the school's actual rep.
In tertiary education, you just cruise. If you are a tad too fond of school, you do your masters and maybe even go for a phd later.
For a second there, I thought we were in a cultivation novel. No? Oh...are you sure?
it is efficient since it was made like a factory to produce a workforce in the past, but currently it is getting inefficient since nowadays people started to learn more by actually doing things and learning how they work along the way together with the concepts.
present education needed to be mixed with learning the manual and actually doing things in a 30:70 ratio 30 classroom learning and 70 hands on learning. (ex. artists like painters, sculptors, chefs, authors, etc.) they got to master their crafts not by only reading books but by doing actual things and practicing.
I 100% agree with increasing trade and craft education.
Uhn... Primary serves mainly to teach you basic things and to have a place for you to spend your day at and be taken care of while your parents work.
Middle-high School serves mainly to teach you some morals, how society works, and to introduce you to a few subjects that you might be interested in working with.
Uni and higher are useful in case you want a job that requires a diploma and that's all they're useful for.
Yeah, that's kinda their current state right now. I agree with
@--MON-- with how inefficient the system has become.

In a nutshell, to become more efficient, I believe education should shift towards the following paradigm for primary/secondary education:
1. General Track (focuses on broad skills that can be universally applied in multiple fields; prepares student for uni)
- Critical Thinking Skills
- Quantitative Reasoning Skills
- Communication Skills (includes writing/reading/speech/etc.)
2. Technical Track (specialized knowledge and fields that require experience and foundational knowledge)
- The Natural Sciences
- Trade Skills
- Languages
- Liberal Arts, History, etc.
For tertiary education:
Programs should be more streamlined (this includes shortening education timeframes) with a focus less on academia and theoretical knowledge and "General Track" skills and more on "Technical Track" skills.
For those seeking post-graduate education (Master's/Ph.D), their tertiary education can focus more on those aspects as 90% of undergraduates would rather have their education shortened (aka trim the fat) to be more job-oriented and practical instead.
That is my long spiel. End.
