you know, one of the things that is taught in the business schools, in marketing courses, 6 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 is not to raise expectations of the customer. 7 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Because after that, you can only go steadily downwards. 8 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Well, I've sort of optimistically called this talk "The Future of Learning". 9 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Perhaps it should have been called "A Future of Learning" 10 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 but it's one of the futures which I think, in the last 11 ears or so, 11 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I have encountered in many different ways, and that's the story I want to tell you. 12 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 First, a little break-down of children on our planet: 13 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 It's a sort of a personal number - these are difficult numbers to get: 14 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 you get different numbers from different sources. 15 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 But I would think that there are about 50 million children on the planet 16 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 who have more than everything that they need 17 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 for their lives, for their education, for everything. 18 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Then there are another about 200 million below that, 19 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 who have adequate resources. 20 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 And below that, there are 750 million 21 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 who do not have adequate resources. 22 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So this is the situation that we're at - we're looking at. 23 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Here in Britain, I would think that we're dealing with 24 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 the first two blocks 25 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and maybe the top slice of that 750 million. 26 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 That's the impression I get by going around the country. 27 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 ("When I need to know something, at the time when I need to know it, I can find out in 5 minutes" (Pre-adolescent, United Kingdon, 2008) 28 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Here are some sentences that I heard here, 29 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 in various cities, at various times, from various age groups. 30 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 "When I need to know something, at the time when I need to know it, I can find out in 5 minutes" 31 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 "My father is an engineer, but he doesn'thave a job" (onscreen: + "8 year old, United Kingdom, 2009") 32 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 "Why should I work hard to be a professor like you when I can earn as much as you by driving a bus" (onscreen + "Adolescent, United Kingdom, 2006) 33 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So, we need some answers to these questions, 34 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 you know, they are important questions for children 35 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and we don't actually have too many convincing answers. 36 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 We can give them the academic answer about, you know, 37 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 knowledge and deep understanding and so on and so forth. 38 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 But these are specific questions. 39 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 We have to give specific answers. 40 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 On the other side of the world, we can't use the computer room when we want. 41 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 It's not allowed. 42 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 That's from India. 43 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 The internet is down because the school didn't pay. 44 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So, that's the other side of the world. 45 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 (Problems of relevance and aspiration - Problems of resources) 46 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So then, if you put the problems together, 47 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 they are the problems of relevance and aspiration 48 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 in the top part of the triangle 49 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 And they are the problems of resources at the bottom. 50 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So, I will start from 11 years ago - 51 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 (There are places on Earth, in every country, where, for various reasons, good schools cannot be built and good teachers cannot or do not want to go...) 52 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 with this sentence, that there are places on Earth, in every country, 53 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 where good schools can't be built and good teachers either will not go or cannot go. 54 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 You know, when you first see this, it reminds you of the developing world, first of all: 55 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Africa, India, China. 56 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 But think of any country that you know. 57 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Think of the map 58 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and think that you have an imaginary pencil. 59 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Would you not mark out places where you'd say good teachers will not go there? 60 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So it is not a developing country problem. 61 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 It's a global problem. 62 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Unfortunately, it's an ironic global problem 63 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 because those places where the good teachers won't go 64 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 are just the ones where they're needed the most. 65 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So, we're stuck in a bind. 66 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I will show you some figures here. 67 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 North Eastern India. 68 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 As you go further and further away from Delhi on the X axis, 69 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 to 200 km away from Delhi, 70 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 leaving all the ........ [check] behind (4:46) 71 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 the primary schools drop sharply. 72 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Why? 73 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Because the teachers, 250 km away, 74 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 if you ask them and ask them this question: 75 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 "Would you like to be somewhere else?" 76 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 And the answers changed from "Not really" to "Absolutely". 77 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 By the time you hit 300 km, they say: 78 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 "You know, if only I could get a job in Delhi, 79 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 there's better healthcare, better entertainment, more shopping, ec." 80 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Then I came to England and I thought to myself: 81 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 "Now I will not find this problem, because it's much more uniformly developed." 82 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So then, I should expect to see a flat distribution of primary school results. 83 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 When I looked at the numbers, that was not the case. 84 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 There were schools doing very badly and there were schools doing very well. 85 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So I started looking for relationships and very quickly found one in North Eastern England. 86 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 The density of council housing correlates with the primary school results 87 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 - the GCSE results in this case. 88 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So, the more the density of council housing, 89 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 the worse the results seem to be. 90 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 And this is pretty significant, as you can see from that line. 91 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 It's not a spurious [check 6:08] thing, it's pretty sharply correlated. 92 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So .... [check] to those, you know, highly dense govenrment housing areas, 93 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and I went to those schools 94 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and, surprisingly, I heard the same thing that I heard in India. 95 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I asked the teachers "Would you consider working in another school?"- same - 96 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 as soon as you go into the high density council areas: 97 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 "Yes, it's very dangerous here, you know, it's not a nice area, 98 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 the children are very rough: I wouldn't mind." 99 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Then there are a few teachers who say "No: that's my challenge, I want to be here." 100 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 But not all. 101 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So you do have that problem. 102 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 The remoteness in India was geographic. 103 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 The remoteness here was socio-economic. 104 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 (1999-2001 The Hole In The Wall) 105 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So, back to 1999. 106 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 1999, in New Delhi, the rich children all have computers. 107 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Their - it's a new toy, their parents have spent a lot of money, 108 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 upward of £1000 to buy them computers. 109 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 They are all very good with their computers, 110 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 all their parents say their children are geniuses 111 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 because they are so good with their computers. 112 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Down in the slums, the children haven't heard of a computer, 113 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 they don't even know what it is 114 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and they're not going to make it, because 115 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 no computer teacher is ever going to go into the slums to teach. 116 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So, back in 1999, I tried an experiment. 117 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I made an ATM-like structure into the wall of a slum, 118 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 which eventually got called The Hole In The Wall 119 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and put on the English internet 120 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and left it there. 121 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 And very quickly saw that the children were beginning to teach themselves 122 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 how to use the computer. 123 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 [video: children's voices] This happened everywhere, 124 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 even in the deserts of Rajahstan. 125 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Here's the desert where of all things, in four hours, 126 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 the children were using the sound recorder 127 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 to sing into the computer and listen themselves sing. 128 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 By themselves. 129 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Down in South India, they were downloading games from disney.com. 130 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 This game is to assemble a camera and then take a photograph. 131 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Something that urban children would do all the time, 132 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 but remember, these children have seen a computer only a few days ago, 133 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 or a few months ago. 134 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 They don't know any English, 135 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 they've taught themselves whatever English they needed to do -- 136 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 to be able to do all this. 137 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So I started to document this whole process 138 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and to measure on a computer literacy scale 139 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 what happens to groups of children if you just leave a computer with them. 140 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 And the numbers were interesting. 141 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 It was a straight upward curve, reaching about 42 on that scale, 142 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 which is what an office secretary can do. 143 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 If you gave that test today to an office secretary here, 144 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 she would get about 42, 45 percent. 145 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So they were reaching that on their own in nine months. 146 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 (writing on video read aloud later) 147 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 This was the conclusion from that section of the work, 148 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 that groups of children can learn to use computers and the internet on their own, 149 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 irrespective of who or where they are. 150 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So it didn't matter what language they spoke, 151 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 it didn't matter how rich or poor they were. 152 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 And I tried this in India in hundreds and hundreds of villages, 153 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I tried it in Cambodia, I tried it in Africa, 154 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and everywhere, we got the same result. 155 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So in those days, this was an important result 156 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 about computer literacy not having to be taught. 157 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So, I could then say with some amount of confidence 158 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 that it doesn't matter if your school doesn't have an excellent computer teacher, 159 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 you can still achieve the same results by simply allowing the children access. 160 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 But around this time, something different started to happen. 161 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 (Lessons from The Hole In The Wall) 162 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 In the schools where these computers had been placed, 163 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 in the schools in India, many of them -- 164 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 many of them started to report improvements in English and mathematics scores. 165 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I couldn't quite understand 166 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 - actually English, science and mathematics scores - 167 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I couldn't quite understand what was the reason for that, 168 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 because as far as I could tell, 169 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 the children were continuously playing games all the time. 170 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 But then, I wasn't there to watch all the while. 171 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So I started doing a set of experiments to see 172 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 what could be the reasons why these schools were going up. 173 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 The first experiment was in Hyderabad. 174 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 It's a big, sprawling, South Indian city. 175 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Hyderabad has a - hundreds of little private schools, 176 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 not for rich people, but for poor people. 177 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 And the reason why these really ramshackle little private schools make money 178 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 is because they promise to teach English. 179 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 And for that segment of Hyderabad society, 180 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 learning English makes a huge difference to the kind of lives 181 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 that these children will live later on. 182 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So the parents, the poor parents, pay their, whatever, 183 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 usually around £5 - £3 to £5 pounds a month 184 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 to send their children to these private schools. 185 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 The schools try to do their best to teach English. 186 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 But the problem that I spoke about prevents them. 187 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Good, native-language English school teachers 188 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 are not going to go and teach in the slums of Hyderabad. 189 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So, they don't get native-language speakers. 190 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 The children begin to copy the accents of the local, Telugu-speaking 191 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 - Telugu is the language there - 192 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Telugu-speaking teachers. 193 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Telugu accents are extremely hard to understand. 194 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So when the children come out of school, 195 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 they know a reasonable amount of English: 196 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 their spelling is good, their handwriting is good, 197 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 their grammar is good. 198 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 But when they go for a job interview, the interviewer says: 199 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 "Your English may be good, but I don't understand what you're saying." 200 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So they don't get the job. 201 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So here was a problem that could not be solved by human teachers, 202 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 because human teachers were not available. 203 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So I had to use technology. 204 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I looked at what's available 205 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and I must say I wasn't very happy with it. 206 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I looked at all sorts of programs that pretend to teach English. 207 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 In those days - 2002 - 208 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 there were none that specifically taught about pronunciation. 209 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So what I did finally was, I got a PC 210 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and I loaded a speech-to-text software on it, 211 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 you know, the kind that you can get for free now with Windows. 212 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 What that does is that you take a microphone, 213 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 you plug it into the PC, 214 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 you speak into the microphone 215 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and the PC will type out whatever youre tell-- whatever you're saying, 216 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 provided it understands you. 217 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 The system needs to be trained in the voice that it is expected to understand. 218 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 What I did was I bought this computer, 219 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I put in the software, I trained it in a neutral English accent. 220 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 (The Hyderabad Experiment, 2002) 221 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 And then I blocked out the training function 222 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and gave it to a group of children in a private school in Hyderabad 223 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and they spoke into it, and the computer started to type out complete nonsense. 224 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So the children laughed and said: 225 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 "It doesn't understand anything, what we're saying." 226 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So I said to them: "Well, I'll leave this with you for two months. 227 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 You have to make yourselves understood to the computer." 228 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Now, this is where the new method started forming in my mind, 229 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 because the children then asked: "How do we do that?" 230 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 And I said to them, with great honesty: 231 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 "I don't know. [laughter] 232 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 And anyway, I'm leaving." [laughter] 233 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So -- so I left them. 234 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I left them. What they did was incredible. 235 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 They downloaded pieces of software, 236 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 they downloaded films, 237 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 they downloaded The Speaking Oxford Dictionary, 238 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 which I didn't know existed, 239 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and they started to practice in groups. 240 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 In other words, not only were they teaching themselves, 241 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 they had invented the pedagogy for -- by which to teach themselves 242 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 because I hadn't told them anything. 243 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 And the results were remarkable, to say the least. 244 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 [Girl] Ian, he's my cousin. [check] 245 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 [Text to speech] Ian he's my cousin. 246 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 [Girl's recorded voice] Ian he's my cousin. 247 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 [Mitra] Real flat English accents and you should 248 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 -- I don't have the video here of her speaking before the experiment 249 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and she was barely understandable. 250 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So they had changed their accents. I published the work. 251 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 And at that time I began to realize 252 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 that children perhaps would achieve educational objectives on their own 253 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 if they had a reason to. 254 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Which will bring us to the West in a little while, 255 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 because in the West, the problem is that they don't seem to have a reason 256 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 why they should do these things. 257 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 (Children ...and some surprises) 258 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Well, some surprises in that period from 2002 to 2006: 259 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Well, to start with I got a message from Sir Arthur C. Clarke [check] 260 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 who was living in Colombo in those days 261 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and he had heard of my original experiment. 262 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 He was interest and - you know, he was in .... [check]. 263 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So I went to Colombo to meet him 264 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and he said two very interesting things. 265 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 The first thing he said was that a teacher that can be replaced by a machine should be. 266 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 OK, now, that's a double-edged... 267 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So, a teacher that can be replaced by a machine should be. 268 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 The second thing he said was that 269 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 if children are interested, then education happens. 270 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I then started to put in different educational objectives 271 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 in a way that I'll describe in a moment, 272 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 into India, into Cambodia and into Africa, 273 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 to see what else would happen 274 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 after the children had taught themselves to use a computer.
