larry brilliants story begins in the afghan hills of early 1960s- in those days even in those most isolated village regions wuth no electricity grids or running water, people were gossiping - if americans can land people on the moon soon no mission will be impossible back on earth larry was a relatively poor white youth in detroit when one day he popped into a teacging hospital feeling giddy- it had been very hot and probably he had become dehydrated by bicycling for too long- instead of curing him for free, the admissions officer akso offerered a virtually free way for larry to gtrain as a doctor provided he gave back with his knowhow- larry had found himself in afghanistan as his first employer warner borothers told him to accompany their boy band wavy gravy on a year long worldwide tour- which had just ended with the band recuperating with their favorite consciousness guru- so what did larry do next- he became america's number 1 expert in infectious diseases in asia- he was the man who ended the last case of smallpox on the continent- in those days you had to track and trace manually- larry contributed to some other miracles; eg he joined a network who aimed to end uneccsary blindness by making cataract operations affordable even if you lived in the least conected vilage on the aisna continent- 6:08NOW PLAYING Aravind started in 1976 as an 1 lets fast forward it was about 2005- a time when tedx conferences promised a prize to the speakers with the most exciting colaboration challenge; the prize was not money it was asking every member of tedx to linkin if they could help with thelaureate's chalenge- larry wanted to mobilise tracing maps to end infectious diseases- you may remember that while sevral sad thongs hapened on presdient bush watch- he too led the 2005 challenge to save the world from infectious diuseases 1:49NOW PLAYING Pres. George W. Bush in 2005: "If we wait for a pandemic to appear, it will be too late to prepare." "A pandemic is a lot like a forest ... google invited larry to be the head of google.org- what happened from 2006 on is very confusing- google was to open source the android mobile operating system ; it knew before anyone other hugely fianced network that how big data became mapped as huan behavior tracked through mobile gps could be make or break to worldiwde human goals; but politicians had not been watching what big banks and their fake fratings agencies were up to- so the world enetered years of subprime fimacial crises instead of an era of smart design of health data; by 2019 larry was in his 80s;-it is apparntly a fact that trump dismantled infectious disease prevention networks as not providing a quick retorn on wall street - lok at what happened in dec 2019- taiwan by no menas happily related to beijing sent its top infectious disease expert to beijing- reported the big [problem is this is a disease where the vast majoority of youth it ifects are symptomless- close our bordres - this is what natiosn did who had transparently samrt infectioys disease experts- those who didnt do this in time but located in the far east had been practicsing track and trace for 17 yeras due to the saars outbreak; whence smart nations contain the virus by making sure blood tests cost less than 5 dollars per person and can be scaled as easily as buying a coca-cola in usa (the brand that invented service within arms reach of desire before usa had interstate rioads) some of the above may be disputed- honestly i am not the slightest bit interested in which politician in usa was on the peopels side against the virus- it is clear the total suystem failed usa but if the lifelong learning of larry brillains had been know k-12 - eg kindergarters how to wash your hands- we could have celebrated peer to peer adolescent health as one of the most valuable curricula of 21st c education something the lancet has been at the epicentre of demanding for a decade now | when i was 9 years old a classmate was michael attenborough the some of actor/producer lotrd richard attenborough and the nephew of dadid attenborough= all of the attenborough family are fasciknagtimg to wiki[edia with to understand how for example richard bename obsessed wth gandhi and davuid became the smartest world service broadcastre i have ever seen. david's life chnaging learning moment did nit happen in school - it came when he attended a talk by a guy who committed his life to saving badgers from urbasiation. so it was that david became from theera lof black and white televisoion onwards the storyteeler of animals and natire like no other. i caught up with the head of gthe bbc studio reponsible for attennborough's work in geneva at an uncrad debate on how could trade help with great thornberg generations climate survival goals. over a billion aisna had eidted a 60 second extract of davids blie planet 2 where fish were cholking om plastic. that one minute viral moment did more for the movement of transfirm beyond live domintaed by plastic and other carbon-ruled value chains than all other research and teaching to date. there isa huge amount to learn from having enough tv media owned by the public that even when a program is entretaining enough to briadcast to billions - ome miniute of its can be mobilised as a viral story that youth app to chnage tghe world- why not spend one hour a week of every schoolchilds live searching for what issues to viralise- actually one cluster of schools in new zealand read our 1984 book and createdwww.thelearningweb.net - every child of that schooling sytem is trained to be frree to debate stories they want to invetsigatively journalise; in that district of new zealnd the school went on the radio during the winter break- whats the next billion bopar industry didgital new zealad needs to bfring to the world because west coast amerucans never will in time; thats not because we are smarter than americans but we do have a diferent part of the paegt's diversoty and connectiveity to celebate with a world of education - if milennials ar to be the first sustainability generation | when it comes to loving each others peoples, i takes courage to reflect on what hapen to a,erican peoples; i wouldnt exist without the way americans twice save europe and asia from world wars- but having iknvented the idea of assigning 50000 youngish brains to a great goal like moon landing- why didnt american elders value youth enough to mobilse youth around any great gols on mother earth? there may be many reasons if you are free to braiknstorm them with a diverse enough group of people- looking with a 12 year olds eyes out of london , kit doesnt seem to me that americans have ever been deeply served by their ;politicians since the death of jf kennedy. But i also realised increasingly after the birth of my daughter in wsshington dc region in 1997 that ter is a total failure of intehfration bith by skin color, faith, and date i say it woman and man. I do not have enough ime in live to argue with educatirs and others whose job paid by government is to argue its nit that bad. what i want to do is help communities look for solutions- we know fpr example how to build dual langiage k-12 education system; i dont think we yet know how to build schools for 2 diferent skins unless we can do that through langiages. Itonically because of the american constitution you cant begin to build dual faith schools. whether its is possible to build dual sex schools in usa where girls feel as safe as boys is something i doubt but hope to be shown i simply havent searched in the right place in usa yet- my maternal grandfrather's sir ken last job 1945 was to write up the legalese of india's indpendence- after 3 generations of scottish missionaries in mjumbi who had started up pharmacy (kep's corner) and nursed in ways florence had inspired- sir ken's view of 25 yeras in mumbai mediating gandhi was NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE- those were his last words to me as he Died when i was 5 - so if its possible to design schools for gils and boys it would be fitting if some poorest part of the asian continent adadpted what gandhi and montessori had pioneered sa vocational education- in sny event that would be why dad would vote for sir fazle abed as the most exciting collabortaion movement in valuing education and gorls lives and health and saety wholly - who do you vote for as frineds in veinna design the hapinest civically engaged curricula children and etachers have ever been free to co-create ? chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk | Changing education There has been a sea-change in the traditional ages on man. Compared with 1974 our children in 2024 generally go out to paid work (especially computer programming work) much earlier, maybe starting at nine, maybe at twelve, and we do not exploit them. But young adults of twenty-three to forty-five stay at home to play much more than in 1974; it is quite usual today for one parent (probably now generally the father, although sometimes the mother) to stay at home during the period when young children are growing up. And today adults of forty-three to ninety-three go back to school - via computerised learning - much more than they did in 1974. update 2020 worldrecordjobs # 1 from 2013 3:25NOW PLAYING This year's Central European University Open Society Prize awarded Sir Fazle Hasan Abed, founder/ chairperson BRAC ...

About 5 per cent of American children passed their exam last year before their eight birthday, but the median age for passing it in 2024 is ten-and-a-half, and remedial education is generally needed if a child has not passed it by the age of fifteen. A child who passes his Prelim can decide whether to tale a job at once, and take up the remainder of his twelve years of free schooling later; or he can pass on to secondary schooling forthwith, and start to study for his Higher Diploma. The mode of learning for the under-twelves is nowadays generally computer-generated. The child sits at home or with a group of friends or (more rarely) in an actual, traditional school building. She or he will be in touch with a computer program that has discovered , during a preliminary assessment, her or his individual learning pattern. The computer will decide what next questions to ask or task to set after each response from each child. A school teacher assessor, who may live half a world away, will generally have been hired, via the voucher system by the family for each individual child. A good assessor will probably have vouchers to monitor the progress of twenty-five individual children, although some parents prefer to employ groups of assessors - one following the child's progress in emotional balance, one in mathematics, one in civilized living, and so on - and these groups band together in telecommuting schools.

The Chiense had found out that mao's purcase of nuclear technolgy from rusia had been at the expense of 50 million dying of starrvation. From that moment russian style communism was the last system the world's biggets population- one fifth of humanity- wanted. The cultural revolution may have seemd very brutal as it ridded intellectual theorists with two huge movemengt- women vilagers were told they must build half of china by finding vilage solutions wuth other conteetal asians; meanwhile china sent out nevoys to usa, germany, japn- who will teach loutr blooys world class engineering.
