A professor I met called the process of college education “turning information and data into knowledge, and hopefully acquiring wisdom when you realize information and data are two different things.”
A good liberal arts education would teach the synthesis of knowledge on a world level.
A good engineering school would teach it on a physical level.
A good vocational school would teach it on a focused level.
No matter the kind of education, we should be teaching kids, not just training them to take tests successfully.
