  • The working out of this will depend a lot on formulas for making it attractive and collaborative.
  • The technology gives us tremendous power to solve this stark problem all around us. We need to design these so no child is left out of this. What need to ask, what is education after all? We need to resolve that. What are we getting our young people ready for? It's for the purpose of our life.
