Education scientist Sugata Mitra
tackles one of the greatest problems of education -- the best teachers
and schools don't exist where they're needed most. In a series of
real-life experiments from New Delhi to South Africa to Italy, he gave
kids self-supervised access to the web and saw results that could
revolutionize how we think about teaching.
Sugata Mitra's "Hole in the Wall" experiments have shown that, in the absence of supervision or formal teaching, children can teach themselves and each other, if they're motivated by curiosity and peer interest.
