Welcome to the forum. What do you think it is? - rac1, Mar 19, 2014

I think Clarion is learning English here Rac so this sentence would be her attempt. Perhaps we can help her fine tune it :) - Kiwi-Girl, Mar 19, 2014

Answer 1

Here is another option.

The hope is that education is capable of providing life long knowledge, not the resulting short term retention from outdated rote learning. /outdated memorization. /outdated rote memorization.

I would not use rote by itself, either lead with the type of rote like Kiwi´s good suggestion or follow like my example.

Answer 2

That's a great attempt Clarion.

I've tried to stick as close as possible to your attempt so how about something like ...

The hope is that education is for life, not that one just learns information by rote or retains it for a short period of time.
