- In this talk, Sugata Mitra will take us through the origins of schooling as we know it, to the dematerialisation of institutions as we know them.
Thirteen years of experiments in children’s education takes us through a series of startling results - children can self organise their own learning, they can achieve educational objectives on their own, can read by themselves. Finally, the most startling of them all: Groups of children with access to the Internet can learn anything by themselves.
From the slums of India, to the villages of India and Cambodia, to poor schools in Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, the USA and Italy, to the schools of Gateshead and the rich international schools of Washington and Hong Kong, Sugata’s experimental results show a strange new future for learning.
Using the TED Prize, he is now building seven ‘Schools in the Cloud’, of which some glimpses will be provided in the talk.
Sugata Mitra is Professor of Educational Technology at Newcastle University. His work is built around the idea that children with access to the internet can learn almost anything by themselves. In 2013 he became the first $1m TED prize winner for his vision to “help design the future of learning by supporting children all over the world to tap into their innate sense of wonder and work together.” His School in the Cloud is made up of seven learning labs in India and the UK where children can embark on intellectual adventures by engaging and connecting with information and mentoring online. Professor Mitra is also known for his Hole in the Wall experiment which inspired the Oscar-winning film Slumdog Millionaire.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
This is the only way to go.
Absolutely fascinating, so relevant even now 🙏🏽

Hello from Austria
Nice vid
Maybe suited to disadvantaged communities, but in urban/professional areas putting the kids in a permanent driver seat would be a bit of a Lord of the Flies experiment, isn't it? Adults being licensed to drive is not exactly a reasonable comparison or analogy to kids leading their lives. Though I'm all for tech & fully acknowledge the myriad of problems with traditional education system, kids still need guidance (& perhaps this is where the engagement & encouragement element can be/is implemented). If education was merely about information, I agree with his findinings & fully support him.
very funny and full of information
👏👏👏
Any updates on this ?
I don't agree. I would have learnt nothing without a teacher who is there in person talking to me. Children need contact, need to see the real world, not second hand transported by a screen. They need to touch and to move. In the Waldorf Schools founded by Rudolf Steiner children learn with songs, dancing, painting and poems and that's very successful. Especially moving and rhythm is an important kind of learning.
Maybe after the age of 16 children are able to learn remote only with computers.
As I said, you could have put a PC in front of me, I would be bored after two minutes and go tree climbing or cycling and give a sh*t on that thing on the table. Of course if there are areas in India where it's difficult to find teachers maybe then it's better than nothing to educate the kids but not more.
