Well, we certainly did learn facts without ideology when I was at school. That is what the classical education system does.
For the first 6 or 7 years you rote learn a thousand things. Then the next four or five years, you spend tearing them apart, writing essays and proving your points.
My school courses comprised math, physics, chemistry, biology, Latin, English, Afrikaans, world history, and world geography. English was broken down into writing essays, poetry, and the study of literature. You couldn't go to university without being able to write to publication level in your chosen language, have a science, plus another academic topic. Pass mark aggregate was 70%, and there were no multiple choice questions. All answer were in essays.
