Challenges will always be there. Every few years there will be a different set of challenges. The point is do we give up because of these challenges. No. We keep striving. Generation after generation. That is how mankind has progressed. We need to do something similar for our education systems. Neither I say that I know how to do it nor I am saying let's do it all together. I am not sure what will work and what won't. But we(educationists + parents + government) need to pickup the ball and start doing something. Mr. Khan doing a great job. A great service to the mankind. His contributions towards helping people learn things is almost as important as those who invent/discover the stuff in first place. It is a great tool for people to learn. But I say it again Khan Academy is not the replacement for the primary school teacher. One thing that might work immediately is "make profit making from schools illegal". - Every school run by a group of trustworthy people selected from society by the people whose children go to those schools. - High salaries for the teachers but equally high accountability. - Any surplus to be invested back into the school. - Severe punishment by law for teachers, educationists and school managers for failing to perform duties to the best of their abilities.
