By chance, I spent some time this past semester, looking at 19th century Ladakh a border region of Tibet under British control, as a contrast to the eastern border regions which had been incorporated into the Chinese province of Sichuan for a considerable time.
I find the presentation (in the film) of Tibetan people in Ladakh interesting (starts about 4:50). We are not told (or, at least, I did not 'see' it) who the group of women discussing modern education are. They are however, well-dressed, so I can imagine them as members of an elite group, which could be an older aristocracy. We can be reasonably sure that most people in ethnic Tibetan lands did not dress well, likely only having the clothes they wore. And they may well talk of how good it was when everyone lived by Buddhist principles. But investigation does not show that such a state ever existed.
I believe that there is a lot wrong with the concept of modernity, but I do not have an answer as to how whatever is wrong can be fixed (a rightly vague comment) simply because I cannot describe perfection. (been there, attempted that).
So yeah! I finish up in the same place as Love Uni Hate Exams.
The only issue I would take is the view promoted by the sandal-wearing, fairtrade coffee-sipping Western professors in the video that other forms of education are equal to Western higher education.
Western Higher education has things wrong also, but there is no consensus as to what is wrong, or how to fix it.
