Abstract

Examination-directed and book-centered education in primary and secondary schools left a strenuous task—enculturation of students. Is it possible for higher education to fulfill the unfinished job? First, the article argues that education today forecasts the future of a nation, and combining enculturation with lectures in the colleges and universities becomes inevitable. Second, it explores the approach of enculturation through a reading course in the university.
