Build your own university - how and why. | John Roberts | TEDxBarcelonaED
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 лют 2015
- Youth unemployment is high, and social engagement low. The institutions that we trust to educate our future leaders are often graduating people with irrelevant skill sets and massive debt. This talk examines a potential solution to aspects of these intractable problems - starting your own university.
John has been working in West Africa for a decade. He was a chef, when at 21 he discovered his purpose for alleviating poverty by cooking for the homeless people of Los Angeles. John went on to pursue studies in development at the American University of Paris, National University of Singapore, SciencesPo and Pepperdine. He co-founded the Open University of West Africa and Impact Hub Accra. He is a Global Shaper at the World Economic Forum, a Fellow at Power of Youth and an Ambassador for the 1/000 Network.

I am a qualified Computer Facilitator, we offer free courses at work... I am inspired and I would like to open a computer school in my disadvantage area and give back to the community... I know one day God will make it be possible🙌🙏
The best part of this talk is when John told the parties interested in bringing this new education model to their own country:' Why don't you build it in your country? You're the best situated to know what is needed there(paraphrased that last part)?" We are all our own, best saviors! But very good points about updating the degree-obtaining process + expanding access to it(+education in general).
I want to build a university in my home town in KZN. To see the youth growing up in that place in below levels of poverty with no career ambition because of lack of higher institutions keeps me awake at night. I'm here searching and this what came up.
I'm from Limpopo, I wanna build a university too

Most Underrated Ted Talk ever
YES!!! Customized degrees. Like IEPs for kids and adults that don't have learning disabilities, but don't fit in the traditional education model. There's so many credit hours that I feel like are just going to waste on subjects that aren't going to help me achieve my goals, but are required for a "degree". I don't do well in classrooms, but I LOVE learning and applying and testing and stretching my knowledge. If I could develop a degree that would teach me what I need to know to achieve my goals, and then just continue to expand on my education as my goals expanded, and then synthesize what I've learned to teach others... the potential is exponential!
My University is almost ready to open
Pls Share how u started this university?
Also would appreciate contact
Do you have a contact to answer some questions ?
What kind of University is it?
And since this has been 3 years ago...
How have you done so far?
@@gd.6902 dude there are thousands of universities, the universities that most people know are like the top 50
Building a digital academy in Africa called Growth Clinic seeing this really motivates me❤.
Thank you! Peace be with you too!
2 minutes in and I have goosebumps.
Love this. What an inspiring talk.
So many missed the point claiming there is no recipe or means to replicate. As a professor, this makes perfect sense to me. Some say, open edu resources already exist--correct, so why are students paying tuition to cheat through college to get a meaningless piece of paper? They don't care about learning (in general, most traditional age undergraduates do not). I could teach marketing in 1-2 years rather than 4 and the businesses hiring my students would spread the word about my graduates' skills compared to those students from accredited universities. Universities are 20 years behind and literally do not allow innovation or common sense--this applies even in business schools and colleges. So again, this makes perfect sense to me.
I need to know more!!!
I search how to build a academy thanks intelligent beings of planet ki
Need contacts for this guy
Hey. I see u in kzn. I have kzn in mind u know
Why would the producers of this talk distract the audience from the speaker by rotating images on a screen behind him? You have two brains. Exercise them daily.

Who is watching in quarantine
Post-quarantine
i believe only we need to reduce the tuition fees of the universities.
like.... 10000000000000000 tenfold...
Definitely
So how did you become accredited???
So many good questions
@@discoveringtobago6459 why should we continue to pay for accreditations? They charge HEFTY fees in exchange for what?
Are lectures all it takes to be a school?
Good question..my question is does it have to give out certificates..cuz mine would take college grads who would want to further research in wild life an new village eco systems for a small donation ..like a wild life silicone valley
@@joyhard1373
That is a Good Question... Personally, as an Acting Teacher... I think it's nice to acquire a Certificate of some sort... if nothing else, that they took the course... it looks good up on a wall... makes people feel accomplished.
@Ala'at Almakateb
BEAUTIFUL... I agree.
I would want one in Agriculture, Waste Treatment Biology, Aquaculture & RAS Systems, Marine Biology, Crop science, Soil & Water Science & or Treatments
In my discipline I believe graduates of the school gaining employment--that is what it takes.
I'm on this in Nigeria
Tell me more about it bro
I'd like to hear about it as well.
If you are real we can work together
This already exists. Look up the open university it already exists and is a fully online university
The TITLE says "Build Your OWN University..." not something that already exist.
I want to open up my Acting Academy... that is why I'm looking at this video.

Well, a fictional university.
Alot of science comes out of science fiction
Useless video. Doesn't tell us how we can replicate it...
