The current education system in (not only) western world is deliberately debilitating.
This is my opinion, i'm no expert on the issue.
The way i see it:
Step 1) Present information for students to memorize
There is no real incentive for brain to do so, at most it would be something abstractive like "it is going to be on the test" or "teacher said so".
Step 2) Present a problem or question that is supposed to be solved from memory alone
Student then receives grade not basen on his ability to solve the problem but rather on his ability to force his brain to accept and remember information presented in step 1. without questioning said information.
This will change how the brain operates in order to make said brain accept informations presented at "face value" as long as it is presented by authority (aka "teacher said so").
Real learning happens when the problem or question is presented FIRST and brain is forced to think how to solve it, actively look for information on how to solve it, testing various ways on how to solve it and even failing at it repeatedly. (aka "doing your own research"). Since education system actively pushes againts this princible then it will diminish brains ability learn.
No wonder that information from Q drops is often presented as questions rather than answers.
