every country needs to analyse the continuity of its youth development system age 0 t starting work or apprenticeships - see this hkk program https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/tv/closeup/20211008/4002837/ - no more drop outs

technology can be the solution - today every child could have their digital dashboard of skills already mastered - this is far more relevant tna paper certificates; digital models can be blockchained so that a student gets advice on what to practice next if they want to do particular types of work; this youth intelligence becomes ever more sustainable the less silos ot has

sadly english speaking education system s- the worst is usa - are designed eactly the opposite way round - 50 years ago maybe there was a sense to forcing total disruption to a chlds learning journey afet 5th grade about 11 and again at 8th grade at 14 - and of course families themselves move around but this is all the more reason why a childs dashboard needs personal ownership 

2020s technolgies make all of this chnage so simple; dont listen to politicians who blame other counytries as competitors; plolitocains who dondt serve the childs human development member of first d generation are the problem as are discrepancies in community safety caused by a hierarchy of politics which is about adminstering people not servinng them- if you dare find out how totally broken us education is start with eg jegfferesns children written 20 yeras ago which expalisn how america hates/feras 14-17 yeear olds instead of nurtut=ring them deeply just at the age when most need apprenticeships in community not dropoing out and not endless examination - if you really care about the futire of the younger half of americans I am always at chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk - to help with custmised diagnosis of whom a particylar state or county is most droppoing ourt- if you come from anywhere that values its younger half as the first sdg generation help compile teh catalogue below- part of 40 yeras work since we first published 2025report.com with The Economist in 1984  

to start with through the 2020s wherever you encounter a big organsiation get ready to questuion it construbution to Envoronment, Society Goverment - whatever your relationship with the organsiation it is upn to you to minimise your relationshop with the organsiation if its esg does not feel right

why are these 10 curricula not common

financial literacy - this can be done from 2nd grade up (eg as soon as kids count); it is by those who co-create aflatounn curriculum which began in an indian orpanage

girls health from 10 ten up- ythe lancet has being arguing for this for years; the best way of doing this is micing ages 10 up and faciltating peer to peer

boys health 10 up is relevant too but not qute as urgent

nursing curricula - every teen should have at least one action learning apprenticeship - at the momemt many high schools only offer sports or theoeertical exams but most things from music to coding are mastered by practice- of course if health ws a peer to per curriculum those wh wanted to go into nursing or first aid could do so- in most of the world it is now realisee that instead of training a nuese to be expert in everything - most practices invlve specific training - any country without enough last mile health workers can first sort this ourt

there are curriculum which ae not offered because teachers need retraining first - it makes zero sense for any high school to have less than a third of teachers with time to question what is tech about to change- in the 2020s this quesrion is 10 times more important than ever before - unless enouh teachers can do this there willo be bo sustainability generation

============================

fortunately smart approaces to adult refugees are now incorporatig learning passports - gdigital translation betwee curriculum co=ompetence in country of origin and new host country; in many cases it should take less than a year to convert any graduate

hifgly innovative subjects inclusing many on ending carbon are best offered with one world class free digital content web backed up by local mentors; it is rime to end thousands of professors teaching minor variants oif teh same subject often made to look distinctive with totally unecessary extra jargon

================================

lets taka breank andask if ending povert means wherever the next girl is born she has a good chance at like - suely we can join in the worldwide movement demanding early childhood schooling everywhere; if you look at which counbtriesvre massively scaling earlycho=ilhood the goon news is expesive formats are seldom better thn low cst ones- the key criera is bond of love betwn teacher and kids

rhe great news drom adrica is thafed having issuedsecondarygrants for nearly a million kids oc=ver last 30 years now hasan acrive alumni club of 200000adults - a laefe number of whom are teachers;

it isincredible- you can go all through school a i sis witjout any practice in charinig meetings or co-crearive brainstorming- i recoomend scools seriously adopt www.opensacrword.com for at least a dew days a year

viriual educarion baeds go narurally with dashboards where the learnen can ttak back what she has already accomplished as well as not

every child shouldhave access ro love rgy sel reaining- tokyos current mayor says she only woke up at school when a lessonon zen empwwred her

=======================

transpatency note - in 1984 i co-authored 2-25 report- we argued tech could change education - for example once ever student had a smart phone students should be empowered to interview their teachers ar least as much as be taught parrot fashion - fdortnately one new zealand cluster of schools led the edge on this - while their impact on new zealnand may have been small except in their home community - their book became a best seller in china selling 10 million copies - chinese politicians took up the challenge ; if yiu read my fthers1977 economnist survey you will see how adaptible the chinese mase ther education system as sustanability's primry orentsl challenge bravo- chine

HUNICORNS EDUCATION

 Although the world's great education laureates - wise. yidan - value fazle abed almost entirely for under 12s education it is woth noting:

1 almost all of brac's 100000 village staff are professioal trainers of livelihood skills

2 whilst abed's primary and early childhood schools are the largest non gov system primary only started to be a huge offering for brac after village mothers microfrancises in health and food security and village banking was reaching across the village nation

3 for brac livelihood education seeks to gow happiness and confidence communally across children - making sure they cn pass state exams is included but its not what makes brac schools different\

these are the main education hunicpors abed gave rthe world - we include his legacy wish colaition of new univetsities

==========================

in this thread we brainstorm the new univrersity coalition

why a university directly from abed but the full compass can only be draw from what all brac's most sustainable partners including girls themselves recall of his brainstorming with them

!) around 1999 abed was shown evidence that universities are the main organisation typology to last across generation - if you have knowhow to share for sustaining humans across millennium 3, linkin university partners

2) around 2000 steve jobs wife challenged abed at a private dinner- you have knowhow that can help the world- why are you only working in bangladesh - so the university also became abed's way of debating who wanted to sustain worldwide partnerships with him - we know for example that 

3) between 2000-2006 both billionnaire foundations gates and soros, and health servant extraordinaire jim kim wanted to co-brand health networks to end poverty - indeed the first school of brac university = james grant school of public health which connects how village women built rural health service in bangladesh and partnerships with chinese villagers and globally with james grant unicef missions starting with hu- oral rehydration , and vaccination and other keys to raising life expectancy from forties to 50s; by the time gates kim, soros joined in they wanted abed's villagers can end tubercoluisis and helped bush form the global health fund persuading the global health community that hiv and tuberculosis needed joint solutions

4) we know that abed sold the innovation courage - emotional intelligence of national university - to bangladesh's national politicians as searching for knowledge that future public servants world need; abed sought never to compete with the tole of private public constitutions but to triangularise what girls and youth futures intergenerational purposes could advance- it is vital to understand that abed took a different view to the leapfrog technologies like mobile and solar that bangladesh from late 1990s  emerged as poorest nation to attract end poverty partners - how would the processes of brac partners change over abed's last 20 years on earth was his legacy question- and he kept on questioning possibilities for each of the 4 most visible golas

health

finance to end poverty

food-water security

education at every age grade and as a life long livelihood stream of connecting generations so that youth could do for sustainability innovation what his geneartion had not been able to do

so lets take a break from brainstorming what hu100 -partership legacy of global university of poverty can do - and catalogue the hunicors of health, education, food, povrty-financing- particularoy from the viewpoint of lead partners and worldwide compasses not just bangladesh

........

part 2 so what can hu100 university partnerships do

they can ask how will education need to transform - importantly in places where youth are going to double and teachers themselves are going to have difficulty in keeping up- either as ic case of medinie in bamngfladesh as thetre are too few experts or becuase tech is changing the leading edge of what to know so fast that every 5 years leading edge expertise changes

what could brac bring that the world's top universities could not - abed preferred not to describe this in terms of his unique knowhow- the two simplest ideas: 1 every undergraduate does a village project; every best partner of brac connects alumni of brac university with alumni of other universities that partner celebrates

in abeds last decade, the future of university collaborations became abeds favorite conversation wherever he met ambassadors; where trust existed he would ask the ambassador to brainstorm how youth as the sutainability generatioon would need to help solve whatever was that nation's biggest weakness in sdg collaboration - be that climate, trust at borders, health, jobs that value youth, as well as humanising technology - if you like at what the un is zooming around #aiforgood applied to every un operational arm's connections with the sdgs- abed would have asked how can alumni of brac university connect with other alumni; abed knew which countries he had longest conversations with - eg china, uk, japan, netherlands so he started these debates as early as 2011 with their ambassadors - you will need at least one new ujiversity thats collaboratively wotld class per 50 million -thats eg one in netherlands, two in uk, 4 in hapan, 25 in china- these universities must be free to let their students become alumni of each other in resolving the deepest collaboation challenged - whilst debating these sorts of challenges with representatives of places futurrews, abed kept on asking his best partners who had made their money from business- what their own futiure of universiyty partnerships looked like

abed also framed how he hoped people would value not just his core role as world's most joyful agent of empowering poorest women to end poverty but how nations that love fa,ilies also avoid the middle income trap; he said look around asia- which countries have avoided that trap- look atvthe universities of singpapore and korea as two outstanding benchmarks

2020 reviewing some stories worldwide youth cheered loudest in new york 2015 launch of sustainability goals

asking aloud can moocs also share massive collaboration stories eg on most urgent practices of millennial  village learning  -eg social credit & solar &...

iwill anyone help develop this , module by module,  on demand in coursera

i would recommend week 1 is (banking) social credit by and for everyone

MAKE other weeks adjectival

eg 2 could be solar social credit

start with eg how if the grameen model openly replicated could have reached a billion solar off grid- reference german nancy wimmer's book - also at the last mit dlab convened with the late great paul polak- paul was a boulder psychiatrist- realising poverty was the common root cause of his patients- he dedicated second half of life to solutions for bangladesh villagers- treadly pumps being his success from 1980s

============================

if we knew we were designing this curriculum -ultimately anywhere in elearning formats that will take it - now might be right time to ask ny's patient capital leader jaqueline to join in - her 2 main countries seem to be kenya and pakistan -extensions paul also hoped his solutions could rreach - eg with jaqueline and in india with kickstart

here's one of our favorite solar stories -jaqueline out of pakistan

The sun blazes above Bahawalpur, an area of Pakistan known for fertile fields and feudalism. It’s afternoon and the temperature has already exceeded 120 degrees Fahrenheit as I sit talking to a small group of women in a courtyard. They listen politely, exchanging stories about their lives and why I am there.

These are hardscrabble women, trying to scratch out a living as weavers and sharecroppers on an acre or so of land, supplementing their family’s income by selling crafts. Their homes have no toilets, no electricity, no clean water. Their children’s futures limited by poor quality schools. This is what poverty looks like.

Yet they are aspirational. They proudly tell me their husbands all own cellphones, which have become essential to farming, even for the poorest.

As the sun beats down upon our backs, I am reminded to mention Acumen’s new investment in a solar company, d.light, which has a $7 torch on the market. I tell them it’s a big seller in India and Kenya and customers swear by them. The women listen, nodding their heads. I ask whether they would be interested in buying such a product to bring light into their homes after the sun goes down and Bahawalpur becomes cloaked in darkness.

A broad-eyed woman with a rust-colored scarf hanging loosely on her head, her face drenched in sweat, leans forward on thick haunches. She looks directly at me, her gaze betraying a mix of bemusement and exhaustion.

“We don’t want a light,” she says flatly.

“We’re hot. Bring us a fan.”

“A fan?” I ask, stumbling over my own words. “But a light would help you save the money you pay for kerosene. There is no smoke. You could work later at night and your children could study.”

I try to make my case for the solar lantern, but my attempts are futile. The woman gives me that look again: “We work enough. Forget the light. We need a fan.”

I don’t have a fan to sell nor the power to make it run.

That evening, I return to my guesthouse, exhausted by the heat and more grateful than ever for the fan above my bed. For many of us, it’s hard to imagine a life without power when electricity is the undercurrent of nearly every aspect of our lives.

It’s been eight years since we made our first investment in d.light and I learned a valuable lesson about energy and the poor. The world has changed and so has Acumen. The cost of solar has plummeted from $4 to $1 per watt. The proliferation of mobile technologies makes payments for new innovations more possible, so poor families don’t have to pay cash upfront. Awareness of solar’s benefits have increased, and we are seeing its potential to transform lives.

Importantly, we’ve also come to understand the Energy Ladder: like cellphones, consumption of energy creates demand for more consumption. It may take time — and marketing dollars — before people will convert to solar but, once they do, they quickly want to get to that next rung of the ladder and purchase not only light but energy to power their cellphones, radios, televisions and more. Indeed, consumers will push the edge of their purchasing power to change their lives through access to energy.

Fast forward to today. I return to Pakistan to visit a new investment in a company providing off-grid household solar products to the rural poor. We drive five hours outside of Lahore, at least two of those hours on dirt roads. Finally, we arrive at a cluster of mud houses. Men, most sporting turbans, some with rifles slung across their back, stand to greet us. Veiled women huddle near one of the houses, hiding their faces from us as they prepare the evening meal.

Life on the surface feels like I imagine it has felt for many generations. Families rise with the sun and work outside until the sun goes down. And then it is quiet.

But things are changing. A few weeks prior, the compound residents, all members of an extended family, purchased a 50-watt solar home system for $280, mostly on credit. The bright yellow unit includes a solar panel to power six lights, a cellphone charger, a radio — and a fan. It also includes USB capabilities so the families can load up a flash drive with music, which usually costs them 20 cents at the local mobile phone outlet.

The men beam with pride as they gush about their new lives. I ask what they value about the system. A mustachioed elder doffing a cap that accentuates dark, sparkling eyes, bushy eyebrows and a sort of elfish, mischievous personality speaks for everyone. “We like the light for security,” he says, explaining that they installed a light outside the houses to know whether nightly visitors are friends or bandits.

The second priority? The charger. Previously, one man would drive two hours into town and wait to charge all of the residents’ phones before returning. The men would regularly lose five or so hours of phone access in addition to the charging and travel expenses.

Third, the fan. “It cools and keeps insects away at night. Our children can sleep and do better in school,” he continues. Another interjects, “And we want fans like the rich people have.”

I think about what this means. On Monday, this family was living as they did in the 19th century. On Tuesday, they can stay up late, talking and working under the glow of light. They can listen to their favorite music, check the news on their phones and connect with their loved ones. And they can finally sleep under the breeze of a fan.

We drive away as the sun begins to set.

I can see the revolution now — 1.2 billion people who have been left literally in the dark can now access quality, affordable energy. The markets are still broken, but now the world has a path forward to make it happen.

What’s more: by harnessing the power of solar, we no longer have to choose between serving people and serving the planet. Off-grid solar solutions can help pave the way to a more sustainable life for all of us.

For eight years, Acumen invested patient capital in intrepid entrepreneurs who dared to focus on solving one of the biggest problems of our time. It’s helped them to build products, create awareness and drive down costs to bring energy to the poor. We’ve learned about customers’ evolving needs as the products and delivery systems have changed. There is clearly still a long way to go to get the products right, the financing right, and the distribution of solar products and systems right.

Reason I ask is that I met Ashfaq International Child Art Foundation for first time yesterday after kind intro from people in japan who my father would love most

Ashfaq is 20+ years into converging about 1500 youth every 4 years from 100 countries on the mall close to the white house- the goal is to create stakeholder networks in youth as all of our creative futures

June 30 and Jul;y 1 are both the opening days of this 5 day event and the time when friends will be in flying in from around world to understand collaboration opportunities and try to map ongoing collaboration and  alumni networks

cheers

chris macrae -is it possible to change dc from epicentre of superpower to twin capital in youth creativty in time for beijing to prefer banking for youth creativity too?

dear ashfaq if i have misdescribed your grand opus' urgency please correct me -

dear taddy if these dates are not practical- we would love to celebrate a day in dc with you during your family's us trip this summer
