00:00:02.808 --> 00:00:04.909
On the relevance of education...

00:00:04.924 --> 00:00:06.453
It’s such a huge question,

00:00:06.453 --> 00:00:07.796
and it’s hard to know where to start.

00:00:07.796 --> 00:00:09.280
But I think, really,

00:00:09.280 --> 00:00:13.662
what you have to do first is to connect with the individuals’ lives.

00:00:13.662 --> 00:00:17.622
You need to really understand what’s going on in their own lives,

00:00:17.622 --> 00:00:21.028
in their own community, what’s important to them,

00:00:21.028 --> 00:00:23.194
what do they want to learn,

00:00:23.194 --> 00:00:25.997
and really make those connections right from the start.

00:00:25.997 --> 00:00:29.592
Rather than, the other way around where you, you know,

00:00:29.592 --> 00:00:33.404
start with a whole syllabus of what you think is important to the students.

00:00:33.404 --> 00:00:34.939
Start with them first.

00:00:34.939 --> 00:00:40.146
Way more difficult to teach that way, and so rarely done.

00:00:40.146 --> 00:00:42.187
I think that’s the key.
