Description

This thought-provoking book challenges the widespread emphasis on intelligence metrics in higher education and reveals how this narrow focus undermines institutional missions and student outcomes. The author examines the systemic problems created when colleges prioritise smartness over genuine learning and development, arguing that such obsession shortchanges the majority of students and society's broader educational needs. Through critical analysis, the work calls for a fundamental shift in how universities approach their core purpose: fostering the potential of every student regardless of their initial abilities. The book makes a compelling case for measurable learning outcomes and accountability, suggesting that both institutions and students should demonstrate concrete growth and knowledge acquisition during the college years. Essential reading for educators, administrators, policymakers and anyone concerned with the effectiveness and equity of modern higher education.

Key Features

Calls for higher education to refocus on developing each student's potential and measuring actual learning outcomes.
