The document discusses sharing education among youth in third world and developing countries. It proposes utilizing distance learning platforms like Khan Academy and MIT OpenCourseWare to bring free education to millions. It also suggests a "Young Leadership Program" organized by the UN to educate gifted students from third world countries who can later serve as leaders to promote prosperity in their home nations. The overall goal is to empower youth through education and remove the label of "Third World" by building a more developed society.
2. Motivation
Our progress as a nation can be no swifter
than our progress in education. The human
mind is our fundamental resource.

President of the USA
3. SHARING EDUCATION

education, the core and foremost resource for
the prosperity of the country without any doubt
relies on intellect of its people. Society with
educated youth can build the system in the
future that will remove the word “Third” from
the term “Third World Country”, meanwhile
making this society as the part of global
development for better future.
4. SHARING EDUCATION
As the part of ICT Program of UNDP, many
third world and developing countries have
been rewarded with ICT Access in these
years. This deed motivates us thinking about
sharing the education, which increases the
number of youth with motivation and vision.
Here the idea Distance Learning comes as the
optimal solution for bringing knowledge to
millions.
5. SHARING EDUCATION
Many pioneers of Distance Learning have
dedicated their effort and knowledge for the
build of such a free platform. And as the ideal
examples for this great deed, I am honoured to
list several of them:
