education value chain

4 monopolies who teaches, whats taught, why examined, who certifies

educatuon is bust because what we need is to end the conventional pretbnce that if you pass all your exams  big organsiations will be waiting with ob offers for you

this is generally vicious to youtb as they should soend their last 2 yeears in education system maximising their jobs network as it interfaces nwith peers inside the educational system and extrenal relationships which they will need if they are ever to be job creators

at the university level this is particularly pernicious because the certification endgame often leaves student trapped in debt too - costs of eg us universities having gone up more than 4 fold in 20 years- moreover business models that have crashed community markets or local sustainable resources make this ever harder- ust when we need to value 25-35 yera old profesisonalks as most educated, connecetd and potentially colaborative we are not investing in goals or market scetir purspoes aligned with this; worse universities have tried to own or add to incubation costs of ideas that students should be designing as their gateways to livelihoods; 

at every level of education iit is amazing how unconscuous staff are of the anti-youth consequences they are turning a blind eye to; its simnpoler to play the government game of everything is ok with education as long as examination grads are maintained (even if the exams no longer have direct relevance to the stduents);l in mkost cases teachers have pensuiosn which lock them in to not ricking the boat, and its amazing how teachers unions and piliticians shared interests are to rip off youth

all of this hapens at at time when :

there is no need for every teacher to represent stuff when there is potentialy one best presenter online; of course what this should eman is that mkore time is freed up for coaching and developing peer to peer teamwork in the calssroom, but again this chnage of process is not something etachers have any motivation to lead

so caled social antreprenur netwoirks like ashika have been uniformally awful in valusng the youth viewpoint - analyse their so-called education entreprenurs and you wont see structural pro-youth changes coming from ashoka's stable- in deed in searching for educational revolutionaries, lour lists show a greatesr kismatch in this practice area between what youth need and what ashka catalogues than any practice area

have a look at the wonderful education opportunities that do exist - and how for over 30 years open education has been rehesrased as what will make or break net generation's livelihoods and  bodreless sustainability

elders destroying net generation

very few people speak about cases on this- I hugely value those who do:

lech walesa's story

various correspondence with leif edvinnson

please mail me chris [e-mail] if you have a story or a concern

[chris macrae]

here is my memory of lech walesa's story - as he told it at 2013 nobel peace laureate summit in warsaw- if anyone has bookmarks to written texts on this story I would love to link them [e-mail]

my co-workers at Gdansk would have killed me if they had known the whole story; you see freeing poland from ussr was not in their interest; gdansk was a port that did 95% of its trade with moscow- indeed this had been a deliberate policy where moscow shipped low added value work down to poland through danask but then controlled the market value of the end product- it kept us busy but trapped many in lower pay than their skills could have merited

so basically most of my co-workers need to kake the sacrifice of ending up unemployed for the benefit of the whole of the next generation of poland; there were other similar issues across polish generations of elders and youth; I would not have been able to sustain the cultural morale needed to make all the peacefull revolutionary changes needed without out Pope John Pauls extraordinary backing that this was  a sacrifice that needed to be made for the future of poland as a free nation

when I look at this story of system transformation, I see many parallels today where the older generation is blocking youth from sustainable transformatuions, and I hope that where those connect with cultures that today's Pope can reach he will fully supoirt youth; right to the future

health sectors bust value chains - its remarkable that we have eg vaccinations that are nott currently being used because the patent holding pharma feels there isnt enough margin for it to be worth the effort- this orphan drug syndrome is just a first example of how crazy global health has become

you can see the expose in this paper by two of the most trusted health servants in the world

you can also see how my father raised the issue of would health become every more expensive and this destroying natution's future sustainability or ever more affordable in this 1984 survey

.

the silver lining to the ebola crisis is that its now obvious that we the peoples of the 21st are now too connected to be able to afford leaving some nations with too few health servnnts - liberia only had a total of 50 ;public health servants

thus millennials who truly value health is one of the strongest groups mappable around the world and criss-crossing through boston which has for many years been the twin home base of kim and farmer (each having a filed location in a desperately poor country where they spent main part of the year)
