Curiosity of a mind

The curiosity of man, in generality, is innate; yet such gift is oft beset by societal over-zealousness in ascribing hyperbolized benefits to academic excellence. The statistical pursuit has led one to toil, perhaps akin to drudge, just for transcendence so as to be ranked higher for the purpose of undefeated placement in the few invaluable, and much sought-after higher academic vacancies. 

However, such a mission, even when completed with extolment from the especial educators, may likely, based on current educational system, have done enough damages inasmuch as to dull the brain to a point of no return, imprecating curiosity of the mind so as never to have it revived, leaving only a debilitated soul encased by an enervated epidemic shell. Just like Edison, an academic reject since his impressionable years, he would unlikely have achieved the success he is notable for today, had he been forced to fit into a system not meant to inculcate individualism, but collectivism. 

‘Education’, what ideology should it takes? Perhaps, as is happening now, though still in its infancy, greater differentiation provides a better alternative to the then one-size-fit-all system. Hence, is it better to integrate the differentials, or allow continuance of the differentials to remain different?
