until it changes I am not going to worry about formal<br />
education—it is hard and boring.” But the future<br />
is now and even if we begin a collective commitment<br />
to formal education today, it will take years to prepare<br />
our young people to be world-class problem solvers.<br />

Formal education and self-control<br />
Formal education is designed to teach problemsolving<br />
skills. An important aspect of problem solving<br />
is the ability to choose and define long-term goals<br />
and then learn how to reach those long-term goals.<br />
Therefore, what formal education is teaching is how<br />
to not give in to what would be fun right now, so that<br />
you can be successful at reaching a long-term goal. It<br />
teaches us that in order to graduate in two years, we<br />
need to study tonight instead of partying. It teaches us<br />
that in order to look our best and be healthy, we better<br />
eat healthy food right now instead of junk food. It<br />
teaches us that if we want to be successful in our work<br />
and with our relationships, we need to pass on the<br />
drugs and alcohol right now.<br />

Formal education teaches<br />
us how choose and focus<br />
on long-term goals, and not<br />
always give in to the temptation<br />
of short-term fun.<br />
Formal education<br />
and health<br />
Whenever the topic of<br />
formal education comes up,<br />
we only focus on economics<br />
generally, and jobs more specifically.<br />
But it turns out that<br />
— and this is in poor as well as<br />
rich countries — formal education<br />
is associated with a variety<br />
of factors that really impact on<br />
the quality of life for each and<br />
every one of us.<br />
Let’s start with the basics.<br />
The hard facts are that people<br />
with more formal education<br />
usually live longer, and it doesn’t get more basic than<br />
that. As well, people with more formal education have<br />
better health generally: they tend to eat better and<br />
exercise more. Why? The obvious explanation is that<br />
people with more formal education can, and do, read<br />
more, so they are in touch with up to date information<br />
about how to maintain a healthy and happy lifestyle.<br />
But it turns out that — and this is<br />
in poor as well as rich countries<br />
— formal education is associated<br />
with a variety of factors that<br />
really impact on the quality of life<br />
for each and every one of us.<br />
Formal education and politics<br />
Formal education also has political implications.<br />
People with more education tend to vote more often,<br />
