Abstract
This is a paper in the philosophy of education. We discuss the current international educational trend of eradicating randomness from education processes, thereby truing to maximize the probability of attaining predetermined goals. We argues against this that minimizing the space for randomness is neither possible nor desirable, since randomness is a precondition of the new.
