Several decades ago it was noticed that people learn far more in far less time when they study a subject they're interested in on their own than if they take part in a formal educational program ... Lots of research was done on this and a formal educational system, called inquiry based learning, was produced based on this research. Essentially, it takes a subject that a student must learn and allows them to learn it in relation to a subject they're interested in, for example a student could learn about statistics based on sports-statistics or videogame sales. Even with inquiry based learning, a motivated individual still can learn far more about a subject they're interested in from self study than they ever can from a formal educational program.
