**9. Final thoughts**

A purpose of any education system ought to be to create an enabling environment for individuals to realize their true natural potential. It should develop them into independent thinkers and autonomous agents who are socially responsible and contributing citizens of this world. It should cater to the innate curiosity of mankind to observe, experiment and make sense of the world around them and understand their place in the universe. Above all, it needs to be dynamic, anticipating the changes and challenges of future and ever-evolving accordingly. The massive inertia of the conventional education system however makes this a daunting task and an uphill battle albeit one, which is an absolute necessity, for the failure to keep up has consequences beyond imagination.
