It is equivalent to running at least 40 schools! So the audience at the inaugural World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE) were informed when the event
opened in Doha, Qatar last week.
Imagine how many educational opportunities which
are badly needed in Afghanistan have
been
squandered on soldiers. Till today, there is no end in sight to this crisis. One delegate suggests that a
"teaching" force rather
than an "invading" one is
more effective to win the hearts and minds of the people. |
