I would say that the money that was invested in me by Warwickshire Education Authority, which they did for five years, has been repaid a hundred times over.

In the field of higher ed, many have asked whether (or when) digital education will replace on-campus education. I wonder the opposite. Cinema never replaced theatre. TV didn't replace radio. I wonder how different digital education will be from classrooms, and where it will lead us.
The only way you multiply resources is with technology. To really affect poverty, energy, health, education, or anything else - there is no other way.

I give the children education.

My countrymen, I have given proofs that I am one most anxious for liberties for our country, and I am still desirous of them. But I place as a prior condition the education of the people, that by means of instruction and industry our country may have an individuality of its own and make itself worthy of these liberties.
