I would like to make it so that education was a right, and not a privilege.

Our approach to education has remained largely unchanged since the Renaissance: From middle school through college, most teaching is done by an instructor lecturing to a room full of students, only some of them paying attention.

If a student takes a Stanford computer class and a Princeton business class, it shows they are motivated and have skills. We know it has helped employees get better jobs.

Start marching forward, even when into the new and unknown, and don't be deterred by obstacles.

As a society, we can and should invest more money in education.

There are so many people around the world in need of high-quality education and really starving for education.

We should spend less time at universities filling our students' minds with content by lecturing at them, and more time igniting their creativity … by actually talking with them.
