Dumbing Down of Education in US, PNG and Australia
Outcome Based Education was originally born out of Mastery Learning in 1956-58 to lift the standard of US education. It was intended to systematically lift and strengthen the basics.
It never did that as anonymous powers-that-be in the US Education system cut the legs off Outcome Based Education by setting up a strategy by which students no longer needed the basics.

They were to fly before they could crawl.
Educationists lifted the standard of Outcome Based Education into the upper realms of research with basics ignored. This was a tactic akin to bombing enemy railway systems and dams that supplied water to the enemy.
The removal of basics was never debated nor passed by legislation. It was anonymous. But it killed the education process. People talk now of the Dumbing Down of Education in the United States. Please click:

7 May 2007 – One of the most horrifying tragedies I have seen in my lifetime
is the United States education system. Education has become nearly ...
There is a comment in the report above that the US system suffers a further complication in the legislation that no child should be left behind.
All students are placed in main stream classes. Students with learning difficulties have problems. More capable students suffer from being not challenged. The US system is called communistic. But the Russian system catered for all levels if the system has not now changed.

The same strategy was used in Papua New Guinea. Basics were ignored and study rose into research.
Students are being pushed into one level under Universal Basic Education. But PNG does have schools of excellence and entry to national schools for those with higher levels of ability.

The education process of this country has been killed by Australian advisors who introduced an unworkable system devoid of the basics.
Australians will have to come back to introduce a new system. It is my guess that they will be using the opportunity to introduce a gay and lesbian agenda. Please click:

5 Dec 2007 – Some analysts say Australian student standards are declining because
curriculums have been dumbed down.
The process of Outcome Based Education has been running for 15 years, long enough to destroy two generations of teachers.
Standards are being dumbed down in PNG by lifting the standard high above the reach of most students. Please click:
PNG HAS OBE WRONG, WRONG, WRONG
It looks good but is grossly unfair. Why should students not work on study material they can handle? As it is, students in this country have little study material.
Should a valid system be norm referenced and exclude a large percentage of students? That is elitist. Does the process become anti-elitist by allowing a wider sweep of students to enter higher learning?
No. It becomes fair as long as the standard remains challenging for most students.
Is education being dumbed down in Russia, China, Japan, Cuba, Malaysia and Saudi Arabia? It is probably not.
