Charles Leadbeater : Education innovation in the slums

Education innovation in the slums
Summary
This story seemed to be talked about 10 years ago. I think that children in the slums studied hard for this 10 years by following the story because they have started to have imagination, appetite, and social confidence, they had lived in where there was no internet and no computers, though.

The speaker told in the story that American, Japan, and some other countries’ education systems would have great results of skills, learning and reading, though, it would lay waste to imaginations, appetite, and social confidence. It’s push. Education needs to work by pull, not push. It should be what children naturally and unconsciously are attracted to.

In the slums, for children, the internet and computers are used for studying and it has rewards that are, for example, Children can now become to eat, to get jobs, and not to be married after studying. Those can create motivations of extrinsic and intrinsic.
An Old education system has to be dismantled and needs innovation. Japanese education also needs it now.
