"The Victorians were great engineers. They engineered a [schooling]system that was so robust that it's still with us today, continuously producing identical people for a machine that no longer exists.”
Sugata Mitra delivered 3 TED talks, over several years, about his educational experiments in India and the UK. No one is more surprised and delighted than he at the startling results, which led him to keep pushing and testing his theories. Besides being a joy to watch, the videos illustrate scientific theory at work... propose the theory or question and test, test, test.
The videos are in chronological order. You can skip to the 3rd for his recent results but you will miss the wonderful journey through the process.
