The author of the book “Academic Revolution: Changing the Outdated Narrative of Education,” Justin Louis-Jean and Pierce Mortensen, was interviewed by Benji Cole of CBS Radio. They talked about the in-depth nature of their book’s theme and inspiration during the interview. This book is an analytical book on the Canadian school system and the psychology behind education. The book highlights the seven vital problems with the school system in each chapter and offers the best option to solve them in a constructive way.
Justin Louis-Jean is 23 years old and was born in Canada, but his roots are Haitian and Trinidadian. Before that, he attended an art high school where he wanted to focus on writing, but he was declined, so he decided to focus on this book. While in high school, he started writing this book, and when he met Pierce and told him about the project, he was on board.
He graduated college in 2020 during the pandemic, which he talks about in this book, along with his college experience. That experience demotivated him to attend university for now and decided to pursue his passions instead.
Justin always had a passion for writing, but this topic came from multiple inspirations and lots of research about the need to reform the education system, including his own experiences over the course of his academic journey. After a year, the book won an award and was placed in the top 5 in the education category in the International Book Awards in 2022. It was also featured in the October 2023 issue of Voraka Magazine.
Pierce Mortensen is 22 years old and from Canada as well. Before that, he attended the same art school as Justin. He now studies biochemistry at the University of Ottawa. Because of his heavy implication in science and literature, when Justin came to him with this project, he was on board since he also had a problem with the current education system. He has a lot to say on this topic.
Pierce was a big factor in the success of the book, especially for the research about the need to reform education. After a year, the book has won an award and has been placed in the top 5 in the education category in the International Book Awards in 2022, as well as being featured in the October 2023 issue of Voraka Magazine.
“Academic Revolution: Changing the Outdated Narrative of Education” attempts to “educate the education” of students and instructors. Justin and Pierce suggest an innovative way to instruct students so that they can keep up with the modern age. The book provides different philosophies from known philosophers that could help the readers open their minds about the school system.
Many students fail and lose faith in themselves, not because they are incapable of succeeding but because they are trapped in a system that has convinced them they cannot. The authors criticize antiquated teaching techniques, standardized testing, and the one-size-fits-all approach to education. The book explores the challenges and shortcomings of the traditional education system and offers suggestions for approaches to learning, such as personalized learning, practical skills development, and the use of technology.
