The problem of forgetting most of what we learn

Many studies have shown that a significant portion of what we learn is forgotten over time. People often struggle to remember facts and details from their education, even shortly after completing a course or program. This is highlighted by personal examples, such as the difficulty of recalling specific college classes or the inability to remember facts from past lectures or lessons. The limitations of traditional learning methods, which prioritize memorization and the retention of knowledge, are questioned.
