Sugata Mitra: The child-driven education

The transcript discusses Sugata Mitra's experiments on self-organized learning environments (SOLEs) where children learn independently using computers. Starting with a computer in a New Delhi slum, Mitra observed children teaching themselves and others. Experiments expanded globally, showing children can learn complex subjects without direct instruction. The concept of the 'granny cloud' was introduced, where remote mentors support learning. Mitra proposes education as a self-organizing system, suggesting a future where learning is driven by curiosity and technology.
