Stephen Downes

Knowledge, Learning, Community

Here's the short version: "Gordon Adomdza, Associate Professor at Ashesi University in Ghana, explains why we need to educate the next generation to be ethical and entrepreneurial leaders." It is also "to equip our youth with the skills, knowledge, and mindset they need to solve complex systemic problems such as poverty and inequitable access to healthcare." I personally would prefer to see people learn to be able to work cooperatively rather than  entrepreneurially, but there's an element of this perspective that remains valuable, namely, being "not afraid to question the status quo" and being "motivated to solve problems innovatively, creating value from limited resources."
