There are places on Earth, in every country, where, for various reasons, good schools cannot be built and good teachers cannot or do not want to go.

Knowing is NOT the most important thing. To be able to FIND OUT is more important than knowing.

I'm encouraging kids to use computers at their own pace to build aspirations.

Learning is the new skill. Imagination, creation and asking new questions are at its core.

In nine months, a group of children left alone with a computer in any language will reach the same standard as an office secretary in the West.

I was inspired by the Hole in the Wall project, where a computer with an internet connection was put in a Delhi slum. When the slum was revisited after a month, the children of that slum had learned how to use the worldwide web.

Students are rewarded for memorization, not imagination or resourcefulness.
