What if education wasn’t just about knowledge, but also about wisdom?

January 29, 2025

Education shapes the future, but are we truly teaching what matters? Schools provide structured learning, but beyond math and science, there’s a missing piece—an education in humanity.

Children come from all walks of life. Some grow up in stable homes, while others face neglect and hardship. For many, school is the only place where they can learn values that shape the way they impact the world—positively or negatively. While we can’t dictate how parents raise their children, we can ensure that schools instill fundamental principles that transcend borders: compassion, integrity, and an understanding of our shared human experience.

Imagine a global curriculum with one universal component—humanity. A foundational course, woven into every school system worldwide, teaching young minds that despite geography, culture, or privilege, we are all born, we all struggle, and we all seek meaning. Alongside this, education should still honor local history and societal structures, but with a core that unites us rather than divides us.

Beyond the classroom, education isn’t just about textbooks. Travel, exposure, and technology can bring learning into homes and communities that lack access. The world is changing, and so should the way we teach.

If we truly want to shape a better future, we must start by planting the right seeds—ones that cultivate empathy, awareness, and a sense of responsibility for the world we share.
