As our first experiment, we've have decided to look at the vast domain of education. The task of sorting out all the possible avenues that one could look was immense. We did a couple of brainstorming sessions on paper and then refined it into a mind map as a starting point of our exploration.
We had a chance to speak with a wide range of people from students to teachers, to professors and research students; each giving us a glimpse of the big picture. Some of the points that came up during the discussions are below.

We had a chance to speak with a wide range of people from students to teachers, to professors and research students; each giving us a glimpse of the big picture. Some of the points that came up during the discussions are below.
Problems
- Efforts are disconnected and localized - no holistic or collaborative approaches
- No real synchronization between organizations
- Corruption in the system when it comes to setting syllabus and in connection with text book publishers
- Not enough information available easily
- Infrastructure problems
- More involvement from the private sector championing the need for educating everyone, from primary to higher to technical education
- Not enough information for students to make informed decisions
Solutions
- Online education
- Experimental curriculum
- More collaboration between educational organisations
These were some of the points that came out of our discussions.
