An Idiot's Guide to Saving The World Podcast: S1 Ep 5 - Education is the epicentre of every issue

Education is at the heart of achieving the Global Goals. Everyone deserves a quality education, but what does ‘quality’ mean in the 21st century? How are our children being taught, what are they being taught and who has access to it? To tackle Goal 4, Gail and Loyiso travel to India, Sierra Leone and the UK to meet the education reformers trying to make our schools more accessible, more inclusive and more empowering.

Featuring: Kiran Sethi, Founder and Director of The Riverside School and Founder of “Design for Change”. Lavinya Stennett, Founder of The Black Curriculum. David Moinina Sengeh, Sierra Leone’s Education Minister and Chief Innovation Officer.

In 2015, world leaders agreed to 17 Global Goals (officially known as the Sustainable Development Goals or SDGs). These goals have the power to create a better world by 2030, by ending poverty, fighting inequality and addressing the urgency of climate change. Guided by the Goals, it is now up to all of us, governments, businesses, civil society and the general public to work together to build a better future for everyone.
