It is hard to compete with the reality TV shows. There is also a contradiction in learning being a right, yet everything costs money including learning. The playing field is not level and I fear it may never be level. I think it is a noble aspiration to believe that everyone is entitled to solid educational experiences, but in a failing economy that is not reality.

Even the manual worker who has no time for books, learns from his life experience. But there are categories of lifelong learning, and I think they should be spelled out.

But it isn't just about taking courses and reading, it is about learning from your environment, from the people you make, from the places you visit. It is an attitude, it is a desire to understand more about oneself and one's fellow men and women. Lifelong learning is such a meaningful pursuit.

I wonder why they seem ahead of the US. Perhaps it's because all the universities there are state funded?

This man, Sir David, seems to have been one of them. As someone who dearly wanted to go to Oxford but couldn’t, I can say that the eggheads somehow managed to get it right there.

So while they kick back the western nations lose ground to the Chinese.
