Professor Sugata Mitra: Unpacking Self-Organised Learning Environments and the enduring role of the teacher.
About this episode
Today, we enter the world of Professor Sugata Mitra — TED Prize winner and creator of the Hole in the Wall experiment — whose work is reshaping how children learn.
He has shown that with curiosity and connection, children can teach themselves — and each other. But in a world where learning organises itself, one question remains: do we still need teachers?
Join me as we explore the space where technology empowers, autonomy flourishes, and human connection still matters.
Even when learning finds its own path… a great teacher remains the guiding light.
