Self-directed learning vs contemporary education system

The education system is based on a hierarchical mode of education. The centre of everything is a teacher. The teacher passes on knowledge, facts and skills on pupils. Each pupil is the same at the end of school education. They are all alike as a yoghurt leaving a conveyor belt.
