Video 2:Sugata Mitra: School in the cloud- SOLE


My wish is to help design the future of learning by supporting children all over the world to tap into their innate sense of wonder. Help me build the School in the Cloud, a learning lab in India, where children can embark on intellectual adventures by engaging and connecting with information and mentoring online. I also invite you, wherever you are, to create your own miniature child-driven learning environments and share your discoveries.


Modern school education looks like 300 years ago. This system developed under the British Empire - a teacher in front of a class, students at the desk in order. But with the rise of the internet, remembering facts is not the only important thing. For future jobs, students need to learn how to think critically. Sugata Mitra hopes to enter the cloud in the shift of this pattern. In addition to opening physics education laboratories of various sizes, it is creating a global network of "Granny Cloud" of retired teachers supporting children through School Online School in a cloud platform. Their goal is to share the SOLE Learning Environment (SOLE) method with parents, teachers, after-school programs, and communities around the world, and to change children's behavior.
