They'll read like four words a minute, which means you can't really make it through anything.
And so what we need to do is to get much better education.
We've been focused so much on building schools and getting more teachers being educated and paying teachers more, which are all nice things, but we know they don't work very well in teaching kids the way you do that.
There's two things.
You have structured teacher plans.
So you have the teachers who know what to go through in each classroom.
They may not follow it, but it just simply makes the teachers smarter.
And then you need to teach the kids at their own level.
One of the ways to do that, we actually helped in Malawi, one of the poorest countries in the world, to do exactly that.
You put each kid in front of a tablet with educational software.
You do that one hour a day.
You don't give them the tablet and they're just going to play games on it instead of watch movies.
You put them in front of this one hour a day and this tablet will very quickly find out your exact level and start teaching you at your speed.
And that basically means, so for about $31 per kid per year,
You can make these kids learn about three times more than what they used to do.
They still go to the same old boring school.
Much of the time, they don't learn anything.
But one hour a day, they really learn a lot.
So when you go into these classrooms in Malawi, there's 125 kids in a classroom.
You can imagine it's almost like pandemonium.
