Dialogue: 0,0:00:25.33,0:00:27.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And you can look far back into the past,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:27.76,0:00:31.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but if you look at present-day schooling the way it is,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:31.58,0:00:35.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's quite easy to figure out where it came from.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:35.28,0:00:39.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It came from about 300 years ago,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:39.22,0:00:41.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it came from the last

Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.08,0:02:34.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so what are we doing with that design

Dialogue: 0,0:02:45.87,0:02:47.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So that's a pretty strong comment there.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.76,0:02:51.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I said schools as we know them now, they're obsolete.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.56,0:02:53.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm not saying they're broken.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:53.29,0:02:56.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's quite fashionable to say that the education system's broken.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.29,0:02:59.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's not broken. It's wonderfully constructed.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:59.94,0:03:06.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's just that we don't need it anymore. It's outdated.

Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.92,0:03:22.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Those people don't need to be able to write beautifully by hand.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:22.18,0:03:25.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They don't need to be able to multiply numbers in their heads.

Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.49,0:03:31.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In fact, they need to be able to read discerningly.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:31.64,0:03:34.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, that's today, but we don't even know
Dialogue: 0,0:03:34.74,0:03:37.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what the jobs of the future are going to look like.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:37.30,0:03:39.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We know that people will work from wherever they want,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:39.95,0:03:43.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,whenever they want, in whatever way they want.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:43.14,0:03:47.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,How is present-day schooling going to prepare them
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.33,0:03:49.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for that world?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:49.88,0:03:54.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, I bumped into this whole thing completely by accident.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:54.92,0:03:57.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I used to teach people how to write computer programs
Dialogue: 0,0:03:57.56,0:04:00.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in New Delhi, 14 years ago.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:00.02,0:04:03.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And right next to where I used to work, there was a slum.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:03.78,0:04:06.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I used to think, how on Earth are those kids
Dialogue: 0,0:04:06.36,0:04:08.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,ever going to learn to write computer programs?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:08.88,0:04:11.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Or should they not?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:11.96,0:04:14.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,At the same time, we also had lots of parents,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:14.58,0:04:17.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,rich people, who had computers,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:17.01,0:04:20.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and who used to tell me, "You know, my son,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:20.14,0:04:22.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think he's gifted,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.33,0:04:25.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because he does wonderful things with computers.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:25.21,0:04:29.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And my daughter -- oh, surely she is extra-intelligent."
Dialogue: 0,0:04:29.18,0:04:31.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so on. So I suddenly figured that,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:31.29,0:04:33.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how come all the rich people are having
Dialogue: 0,0:04:33.09,0:04:35.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,these extraordinarily gifted children?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:35.23,0:04:37.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.14,0:04:39.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What did the poor do wrong?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:39.97,0:04:42.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I made a hole in the boundary wall
Dialogue: 0,0:04:42.97,0:04:45.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of the slum next to my office,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:45.00,0:04:47.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and stuck a computer inside it just to see what would happen
Dialogue: 0,0:04:47.74,0:04:50.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if I gave a computer to children who never would have one,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:50.73,0:04:54.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,didn't know any English, didn't know what the Internet was.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:54.06,0:04:55.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The children came running in.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:55.02,0:04:57.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It was three feet off the ground, and they said, "What is this?"
Dialogue: 0,0:04:57.19,0:05:00.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I said, "Yeah, it's, I don't know."
Dialogue: 0,0:05:00.17,0:05:02.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:05:02.39,0:05:04.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They said, "Why have you put it there?"
Dialogue: 0,0:05:04.94,0:05:06.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I said, "Just like that."
Dialogue: 0,0:05:06.16,0:05:09.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And they said, "Can we touch it?"I said, "If you wish to."
Dialogue: 0,0:05:09.17,0:05:11.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I went away.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:11.54,0:05:13.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,About eight hours later,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:13.29,0:05:16.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we found them browsing and teaching each other how to browse.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:16.24,0:05:18.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I said, "Well that's impossible, because --
Dialogue: 0,0:05:18.74,0:05:22.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,How is it possible? They don't know anything."
Dialogue: 0,0:05:22.28,0:05:25.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,My colleagues said, "No, it's a simple solution.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:25.14,0:05:27.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One of your students must have been passing by,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:27.97,0:05:30.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,showed them how to use the mouse."
Dialogue: 0,0:05:30.06,0:05:31.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I said, "Yeah, that's possible."
Dialogue: 0,0:05:31.59,0:05:34.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I repeated the experiment. I went 300 miles out of Delhi
Dialogue: 0,0:05:34.64,0:05:36.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,into a really remote village
Dialogue: 0,0:05:36.64,0:05:40.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where the chances of a passing software development engineer
Dialogue: 0,0:05:40.43,0:05:44.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was very little. (Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:05:44.84,0:05:47.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I repeated the experiment there.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:47.51,0:05:49.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There was no place to stay, so I stuck my computer in,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:49.79,0:05:51.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I went away, came back after a couple of months,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:51.99,0:05:53.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,found kids playing games on it.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:53.69,0:05:54.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When they saw me, they said,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:54.64,0:05:57.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"We want a faster processor and a better mouse."
Dialogue: 0,0:05:57.12,0:06:01.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:06:01.42,0:06:04.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I said, "How on Earth do you know all this?"
Dialogue: 0,0:06:04.82,0:06:07.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And they said something very interesting to me.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:07.28,0:06:08.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In an irritated voice, they said,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:08.94,0:06:11.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"You've given us a machine that works only in English,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:11.50,0:06:17.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so we had to teach ourselves English in order to use it." (Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:06:17.58,0:06:19.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's the first time, as a teacher,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:19.56,0:06:24.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that I had heard the word "teach ourselves" said so casually.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:24.65,0:06:28.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Here's a short glimpse from those years.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:28.25,0:06:30.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's the first day at the Hole in the Wall.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:30.90,0:06:33.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,On your right is an eight-year-old.

Dialogue: 0,0:06:42.46,0:06:45.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then onto other parts of the country,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:45.74,0:06:48.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I repeated this over and over again,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:48.02,0:06:51.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,getting exactly the same results that we were.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:51.47,0:06:55.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,["Hole in the wall film - 1999"]

Dialogue: 0,0:07:14.27,0:07:16.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I started publishing.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:16.76,0:07:19.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I published everywhere. I wrote down and measured everything,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:19.31,0:07:21.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I said, in nine months, a group of children
