I don't think the schooling system does this, but I think a schooling system should instill in the students a desire to learn and the tools to be able to learn what they want to learn. Some of these tools would be the learning how to be determined and persistent when something is difficult. I also think literacy is highly important, to be able to read and actually understand what you're reading. This will help you refine your thinking as language and thought is connected, it will help in all areas of learning as you often read to learn. Literacy will also help you be able to express yourself, which is important. To be able to express your thoughts with clarity so you're able to contribute your ideas and thoughts effectively.
