Abstract

This article examines the main strengths and weaknesses of the modern education system. The study aims to analyze the accessibility, technological integration, and development of critical thinking as key advantages, while also identifying major challenges such as overemphasis on examinations, lack of flexibility, and insufficient attention to individual learning needs. The research is based on qualitative and quantitative methods, including surveys and comparative analysis. The findings show that while modern education provides broad opportunities, it still requires significant improvements to meet the diverse needs of learners.
