From my experience the traditional education model is vastly superior and the graduates from it are far more likely to be creative, disciplined and knowledgeable. My first year of university was an eye opener. One of my classmates was a little slow. He just didn't seem to understand what the rest of the class was discussing and studying. Then came the time for the final exam. The slowest student was the top of the class. It seems that he went to a residential school that had very strict discipline and while there Mr Slowpoke learned to study while the rest of us were playing around in high school.

From my study of education at a post-grad level I would venture that traditional 'banking' education, where students are seen as passive recipients of 'knowledge', typified by memorising facts for exams (poor form of learning) = this tends to create passive adults, suited to turn to wheels of commerce and not ask too many questions.
The idea that the old form of education was superior is incorrect. Most people dropped out of school early, few made it to university. The fact that more make it through to uni means that includes those with lower literacy capabilities who would have been in the factory.
This started to change in the 1950s with Dewey. But today we need information literacy, problem solving skills and a range of skills to fit the modern world. Facts are easy to find. Thinking and social skills require development.
My education inspiration is Paulo Freire - Pedagogy of the Oppressed, who taught how the teaching of literacy in an empowered environment can transform societies, humanising the poor, and in the process, humanising those who dominate them.
