This week's conversation welcomes Robert Omondi "RJ"a passionate educator who is also the most recent beneficiary of a scholarship from Duke University - Stanford School of Public Policy in Durham, North Carolina, USA. He is currently running a fundraising campaign to raise $50,000 to offset the cost of tuition and living expenses at Duke this Fall (August 2020). You can find out more about the campaign through this link https://bit.ly/rjduke to learn more about the drive.
As technology is rapidly changing the world around us, many people worry that technology will replace human intelligence. Some educators worry that there will be no students to teach anymore in the near future as technology might take over a lot of tasks and abilities that we have been teaching our students for decades. The thing is: Education will never disappear. It will just take up different forms.
Education has a direct impact on life expectancy and overall health. It's also a powerful agent of change that can lift generations out of poverty - educated parents are more likely to see the value of education for their children.
We listen to Robert as he shares his personal journey in education as well as his role as a young person in fostering education in Kenya.
