Education Reimagined | Sal Khan | Talks at Google

Sal Khan, founder of Khan Academy, the Khan Lab School and Author of The One World Schoolhouse, came to Google HQ during a National Teacher of the Year event to speak about the future of education. He told his inspiring story of how he founded the not-for-profit Khan Academy and how the organization is educating millions of people worldwide. Sal also shared his thoughts on what education reimagined could look like and how his dream of "providing a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere" could become a reality.

Khan is an amazing person. I hope I get a chance to shake his hand one day.

Khan saved my life. I almost killed myself senior year because I felt I wasn’t enough to be successful. Because of Sal, I became confident in my learning abilities. I am now pursuing a doctorate in Physical Therapy. Thank you Sal.

I’m 39 now and work as a software engineer. I now embrace education and try to learn as much as I can. I lament at how badly I treated my teachers when I was a young, dumb teenager. If only at that time, I had valued the treasures that they were giving me; treasures which allow you to live a stable, happy, successful life. As a teenager, I would have looked at this room negatively as a bunch of annoying nannys but now I look at them as heroes. Thank you to all teachers, for what you put up with every day, and I’m very sorry to the ones I was so rude to, several decades ago.

I fell in love with maths because of khan Thank you

[sanjitrao]

His videos quite literally dragged me out of a depression I was in cause I believed I was incapable of learning or doing anything good in my life. Just in the year 2018 alone I went from less than 5, 000 activity points to over 900, 000, all from watching and reading articles on Algebra 1, 2, Geometry, US History, World History, Chemistry and Biology. This site fitted perfectly with my ideal mode of learning, and continues to be the driving force of my education. Sal Khan, you quite literally saved my life. Thank you.

I like how happy Sal sounds when he says 'y'all'

[noormohamed]

I really appreciate Nadia for coming out of the bubble and asking a doubt with her cousin, that's where the thought of Khan Academy really started. Students should really ask doubts and expand the horizons of learning. love Sal

[MrsSheylaDawn]

Mr. Kahn. You have literally changed the world. Your real character really shines through. And brings the "want" to learn. Thank you and I love u.
