Iseducation truly effective only when it is specifically designed to meet theindividual needs and interests of each student, as the statement contends? I tend to agree in that individual-designededucation is presented positively to stimulate students’ initiatives that contributeto desirable learning effects, also to nurture all kinds of talents possessingdistinct capabilities as society demands. However, such a new education system poses certainobstacles that schools must take care to obviate in practice.


One compelling argument in favor ofindividual-oriented education has to do with the fact that studentsare offered great incentives to dedicate themselves in study where their individualinterests and needs are satisfied. It is commonly accepted that initiativeserves as a paramount factor that not only contributes to hardworking andproactive thinking but also breed remarkable insights and accomplishments. Considerthe case of Robert Darwin, a famous biologist who first proposed species evolutiontheory. Were it not for his immense interests in natural history, he could nothave given up study in medicine and theology and changed to learning botany.Were it not for his rigid training received from his directors in fields ofbotany and geology, he could not have achieved the immense success in naturalhistory research. It is necessary for education to be designed to meetindividual interests and needs in order to motivate enthusiasms involved inlearning and, more importantly, to explore individual potential talents thatcan create great achievements in future.


Another compelling argument for specificallydesigned education concerns the objective of education, that is, tosupply talents to satisfy needs of society in all fields. Nowadays, we areliving in a society which is so diverse that distinct capabilities and talentsare requited in varied professions, ranging from science to arts, from politicsto humanities. It is a pleasure that traitors needed are inherent to differentpeople. What an effective education is supposed to do is to make these talentsfully develop in the field where they perform exceptionally and enableindividual strengths to play a vital role in their future career. Undoubtedly, individual-basededucation can provide unique training method and specific learning resourcesfit for disparate persons, thus it makes sense in terms of demands of society.



Notwithstanding the foregoing reasons whyspecifically designed education to each student would improve the effectivenessof education,the implementation of such a fresh education system poses certain problems of its own that must beaddressed in order that the new education can achieve its objectives. First, the truly needs andinterests cannot be clearly identified by either students themselves oreducators. Without comprehensive understanding of disciplines in a board range,how can a student distinguish which they prefer or what they need to study? Orperhaps students are used to stay passive in receiving education, thereby tendto choose the easiest lessons which are not actually fittest to them, ratherthan strive to explore potential and merits. Absent from clear interests andneeds, it is unwarranted for educators to carry out individual-orientededucation for each student. However, under some circumstances where specificinterests or needs are known to students and educators, individual-oriented educationamounts to an effective method. As a matter of fact, National University ofSingapore and some other universities successfully carry out such eliteeducation within a small group of students who share a same interest or in asame profession.



A second problem inherent in carryingout a specifically designed education involves the cost which is too high to be paid by thegovernment or school itself. If individual-oriented education is carried out, alot more teachers in different fields need to be employed and more relevantfacilities should be put into use to guarantee the quality of teaching.Additionally, theoretical researches on teaching methods should parallel topractical implementation of the new education system. Whilecosts problem is not a reason enough not to carry out the new education plan,it nevertheless is a concern that costefficiency must be aware of in decision to which extentthis idea should be put into practice.


To sum up, given that individual-orientededucation conforms to the objective of education, supplying talents withdifferent expertise to the society, specifically-designed education makes good sense. And, sinceinterests and needs serve as important incentives in learning process, I believe carrying outindividual-oriented education would be able to overcome whatever procedural and cost scruples thatmight stand in the way of success. As long as students themselves can identify whatreally interests them and what they need, and as long as schools can appropriatelydeploy this new type of education allowing for costs and resources,individual-designed education will turn out to be effective.
