What was the impact of your education on you? Did it affect the person you became and, if so, how? By education, I am thinking of the more formal contexts of primary, secondary and tertiary for some, rather than incidental learning throughout life. As I meet and talk with people about their education, it becomes less clear to me how valuable formal education is. Starting questions could be:-
- What learning can you remember being excited by?
- How did this influence your career choice?
- Did you stay in the career you had chosen?
- What did you learn at school/university that had the biggest impact on your life?
- What did you learn outside these 3 sectors that had the biggest impact on your life?
