1 00:00:02,808 --> 00:00:04,909 On the relevance of education... 2 00:00:04,924 --> 00:00:06,453 It’s such a huge question, 3 00:00:06,453 --> 00:00:07,796 and it’s hard to know where to start. 4 00:00:07,796 --> 00:00:09,280 But I think, really, 5 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:13,662 what you have to do first is to connect with the individuals’ lives. 6 00:00:13,662 --> 00:00:17,622 You need to really understand what’s going on in their own lives, 7 00:00:17,622 --> 00:00:21,028 in their own community, what’s important to them, 8 00:00:21,028 --> 00:00:23,194 what do they want to learn, 9 00:00:23,194 --> 00:00:25,997 and really make those connections right from the start. 10 00:00:25,997 --> 00:00:29,592 Rather than, the other way around where you, you know, 11 00:00:29,592 --> 00:00:33,404 start with a whole syllabus of what you think is important to the students. 12 00:00:33,404 --> 00:00:34,939 Start with them first. 13 00:00:34,939 --> 00:00:40,146 Way more difficult to teach that way, and so rarely done. 14 00:00:40,146 --> 00:00:42,187 I think that’s the key.
