Education, Mind Standardization?

Standardization on what students should know and be able to do on completing their education supports a level of equity, but it restraints personalized goals, paths, and pace. Can diversity and standardization co-exist in education?
This debate will bring together two teams composed of RUG staff members and students on the statement: Increasing standardization in our education system undermines diversity.
