Abstract | Three fundamental educational issues which are usually ignored in favor of more trival operating problems are identified as follows: how can the educational process be redesigned to focus on the learning, not teaching, process; how to avoid organizing education around rigid schedules and artifically quantified units of subject matter and instead promote development of a continuous desire to learn and an ability to do so; and how to design an educational system that individualizes each student, preserves his sense of self, and encourages creativity? The contribution of management scientists to these problems is suggested as replacing reactive designing by idealization. Idealization rotates planners and designers toward what one does, facilitates involvement of a large number of participants, and encourages the consciousness of self-imposed constraints, making it easier to remove them. Some of the possible solutions, contained in an idealized education system developed at an international conference of operational research societies, are summarily outlined in a learner-centered design for preschool through university levels.
