Thoughts on how to support education and at what level? I'd be interested in an answer to any one of these issues: - the standard model for education came out of 19th-century thinking about factory work; do we have an idea what modern, supportive, and effective education looks like? Especially if funding tells people how to organize a school / curriculum. - costs have made free-tuition college less viable in the UK and US (see: Cooper Union, CUNY); thoughts on helping colleges, individual degree programs, online masters (Georgia Tech), or alternative education to offer / finance free tuition? - I attended a Python conference in Zimbabwe. There are more CS grads than jobs, so even the young people who had resources to study in university and skills to work in tech, were thinking about leaving the country, or how to get paid fairly and securely for remote work. If this tracks with anything that you're looking into with education, curious to hear your thoughts.
