	Liberal Education and Mass Democracy
		But even a mass culture and precisely a mass culture requires a constant supply of what are called new ideas, which are the products of what are called creative minds: even singing commercials lose their appeal if they are not varied from time to time.
		Liberal education is the counter-poison to mass culture, to the corroding effects of mass culture, to its inherent tendency to produce nothing but "specialists without spirit or vision and voluptuaries without heart." Liberal education is the ladder by which we try to ascend from mass democracy to democracy as originally meant.
		In this situation the insufficiently educated are bound to have an unreasonably, strong, influence on education -- on the determination of both the ends and the means of education.

		K-12 education is an amazingly conservative institution in the U.S. (I'm not commenting on other countries here.) Local control, even in an era of increased emphasis on federal standards, means that change in school systems is incremental and irregular when viewed from a national perspective.
		Unfortunately, such means of education, while excellent at the purely pedantic level, simply do not foster the development of social learning that exists in a more traditional environment.
		We are headed for an argument between the cost of an education where the student is physically present on campus and the cost of a virtual education.

		While statisticians and even educators can rale against the timing, the accuracy and even the morality of publishing such observations, they highlight the desire of one increasingly significant, yet frequently overlooked, section of the population to provide an educational advantage for their children.

		But educators are finding a raft of challenges, including how to use online technology in countries where few people have access to computers or even phones, as well as how to ensure the quality of programs offered their citizens by online institutions from both inside and outside their borders.
		The growth of distance education is being fueled by an urgent need felt by the poor countries to close the education gap with the rich nations.
		It found that at the world's 10 biggest distance institutions, the majority of them in the third world, the cost of education per student is on average about one third the cost at traditional institutions in the same country.

	Politics \| Degrees of difference in an education battle
		The White Paper seems to envisage a seamless system where the extra students feed in via further education colleges and the post-1992 universities, take their 'cheap and cheerful' foundation degrees, then go on to full BAs and, in the case of the best of them, move to the top research-intensive institutions.
		There was relief when the new Higher Education Minister Alan Johnson told the Universities UK conference two weeks ago 'we have obviously not convinced the sector' about the proposals, and called for 'a much longer dialogue to come to a shared analysis and a set of objectives on research and teaching'.
		British higher education remains a lightning rod for social attitudes in a country still divided, 50 years after the loss of empire, between an old, top-down, hierarchical, class-ridden society and a new mass consumer democracy, and deeply ambivalent about moving from one to the other.

		It is often difficult to determine exactly when mass extinction events have occurred in the Earth's history - the fossil record is not perfect, and the poorer the record for a particular time frame, the more it is open to different interpretations.
		Some scientists have suggested that there is a cycle of mass extinctions, with a major die off every 26 million years or so.
		This would imply that there have been some 23 extinction events since the Cambrian, a figure which is at the upper limit of most estimates.

	[Assam] is Indian Education data a Mass of lies?

		The picture presented for education in India is a dismal one - suggesting that India would not be able to meet the goals by 2015.
