This goes on to show how out of touch with reality our educational systems currently are. They are incentivized by the wrong things, which reflects in the kind of people and policies that are put in place.
Before the web and the free dissemination of information it brought about, the average academician was more 'smarter' than the average student just by the fact that the students hadn't yet had access to the sources of information their teachers had.
However, we now live in times when you can expect anybody in the society to grow to their full potential, thanks to the free web.
This changes the fundamental role educational institutions has to play. They can't continue to be passive devices of information transmission. Yes, there are an elite bunch of institutions that provide more value than that. But as these events show, the educational sector around the world in general are mediocre and are pretty inefficient.
You now have smarter students and they don't need you to tell them what the world is about. That is the changed reality of the market and it is going to affect this sector for the better in the long run.
