  Charles Leadbeater: Education innovation in the slums

 Where would you look to see the future of education? Charles Leadbeater empasises that with current sattistics he would head for Finland; atleast in the last 20 years they have showed qualifications in their education system. Radical new forms of education sometimes are found in very strange places, Charles ended up in Monkey hill in Rio, Brazil and Kibera in Nairobi Kenya which has the fastest growing young population of the world. The innovation of using computers to learn has proved to provide transformative new ways of learning, he argues that this is how schools are meant to be now, he stresses that the idea of a cirriculum isn't very effective.learning is treated as something productive not academic! learning is made fun to open doors to innovation and create passionate amateurs who act like proffessionals.The slums needs more computer orinted learning and modern technology and not the curriculum. Education systems have failed to reach the people that they should and hit their targets but missed their point. Sustaining innovation will sustain existing instituitions and improve the whole learning experience within the city slums. more schools should reinvent themselves and view its features of learning. Efforts to supplement schools like Reggio Emillia ways of learning that support entire culture should be encouraged.Completely new and radical thinking deployed.
