Universities must be more than centres of learning and research . They ought to turn their resources also to the basic problems of the community to a greater extent than they are doing now . I have tried to summarize some of the indicators of impending change . More and more young people , in Israel and the rest of the Western world , leave school without being adequately equipped to enter university or work in jobs that demand some degree of sophistication . The issue of standards and achievements has become a matter of national concern . It is compounded by some Western notions that learning should be made pleasant and enjoyable . Such notions are counter-productive . The human brain is perhaps the least cooperative part of our make-up . It does not respond to pleasant goading but demands hard and continuous exercise and exertIOn .
