ABSTRACT
A more systemic view of education means that people are all connected in a vast world of information, data, learning, understanding, creation and innovation. Mis-education means that people lack a worldview of education as a global system that is dynamic, diverse and, optimally, accessible. Very technical innovations may require a mixture of the old knowledge-building framework but the innovation of systems begins at the margins. If people define education as a system of learning that links the world and is, potentially, a positive link that strengthens the best possibilities of the system, they need to examine the very education that the most educated have received. This chapter examines the world of expertise and explains how attitudes, actions and worldviews profoundly shape our world. Expertise was derived from the classroom and exported, via a degree, to the workplace. Until people own worldview can change, they will continue to design the education of the poor in inefficient and unsustainable ways.
