TED talk notes #4, Charles Leadbetter: Education innovation in the slums

in slums to make things work: pull not push (they need to demand, seek learning)

make learning second, activity/interest first, “teach through” (eg, learn music theory THROUGH playing instruments)

mass education started with social entrepreneurship model in 19th century (in other words, innovative, grounds-up individuals and ideas with creative sources of funding)
