Learn more about the differences between a well-rounded and specialized education and their outcomes to choose which educational model results in better nationwide productivity and quality of life
In our research we examined how participating in extracurriculars (music, art, sports, clubs) and taking a variety of classes (history, foreign language, science) that may not be directly necessary for a specific future career can increase the productivity and well-being of an individual.
This is a study of the outcomes of individuals based on their educational models. Here are our guiding questions:
What is the difference between a well-rounded and a specialized education?
What is the payoff of investing in a well-rounded education in comparison to a specialized one?
How is future income affected by the type of education one receives?
How are economic mobility, problem-solving, interpersonal, and social skills affected?
How does the productivity of those who receive a well-rounded education benefit the public sector?
Is the rate of students who do well in school better for those who play sports?
How does studying a broad range of topics allow students to participate in moral, political, and economic discussions?
Does a well-rounded education produce more caring, compassionate students?
Are the values of individuals affected?
Do students who are well-rounded suffer fewer mental health issues related to depression and anxiety?
In our research, we explore the different outcomes that students may achieve when they pursue a certain type of education, as well as investigate how it affects them in terms of their future financial situation and general well-being.
