Children Driven Education

Watched this video about how children can learn by their own if given the right resources. Its about an experiment Professor Sugata Mitra did on children in some parts of Delhi, where he put a computer with high speed internet in a "hole in a wall" (thats the name of the experiment) and the amazing results that he saw. He saw that if left on their own, children do learn stuff by themselves. All we needed to do was provide them resources and a little motivation. He carried this experiment further on children in other parts of India and also in Italy to see the same results.

Really inspirational and must watch, specially in this phase where there is so much going around related to the corruption in the Common Wealth Games, Delhi 2010.
