A funny thing happened in Lagos…
“Every country on earth at the moment is
reforming public education. There are two
reasons for it: the first is economic: How do
we educate our children to take their place
in the economies of the 21st century? ...The
second is cultural: how do we educate our
children so that they have a sense of
cultural identity... while being part of the
process of globalisation.”
- Sir Ken Robinson, 2010.
