20th century intelligence - ending poverty of half world without electricity -although Keynes 1936 (last capter general theiry money inetrest emplymen) asked Economists to take hipocrati oath as the profession that ended extreme poverty, most economists did the opposite. Whats not understandable is how educatirs failed to catalogue the lessons of the handful who bottom-up empowered vilages to collaboratively end poverty. There are mainly 2 inteligences to understand- Borlaug on food; fazle abed on everything that raised life expectancy in tropical viage asia from low 40s to 60s (about 7 below norm of living with electricity and telecomes). Between 1972 and 2001, Abed's lessons catalogued in this mooc had largelu built the nation of Bangladesh and been replicated with help of Unicef's James Grant acroo most tropical asian areas. What's exciting is the valley's mr ad mrs steve jobs invted Fazle Abed to share inteligences 2001 at his 65th birthday party. The Jobs and frineds promised to integrate abed's inteligence into neighborhod university stanfrd which in any event wanted Jobs next great leap the iphone. The Valley told abed to start a university so that women graduates from poor and rich nations could blend inteligence as Abed's bottom of the pyramid vilage began their journey of leapfrog modles now that gridd infarstructures were ni longer needed for sdiar and mobile. Abed could also help redesign the millennium goals which were being greenwashed into a shared worldwide system coding frame by 2016. There re at Abed's 80th birtday party , the easy bitwas checking this mooc was uptodate. The hard bit - what did Abed mean by his wish to headhunt a taiwanese american to head the university's 3rd decade starting 2020?

4.4 world's first masters in early child playschool 4.5 - first new to world focus of brac university

 4.4 from 1972 abed had built 5.1 metavillage  15000 homes for 100000 refugees which became a lab for designing livelihood microfranchises for poorest village mothers so they could make positive income while urgently saving the community - eg 2.1 rice production to end starvation; action-learning of basic infant health services to stop children from dying before age of 5 -most did when bangladesh's new and 8th most populous nation was founded -due to being the world's poorest nation, 90% without access to electricity, in the tropics

29 years later when abed opened a university, one question to ask : what could the university invent that would change world of billion poorest mothers? the university as a collab for innovation is potentially totally different than a metavillage of 100000 people living without electricity - the village space that the first 25 years of abed's 50 years of linking partners to end poverty

one idea may sound counter-intuitive for such a higher ed platfor,- early childhood playschools ECP- brac university became the first university in the world to offer an ecp masters; the result ecp became a 2010s movement - the world bank now claims 50 nations experimenting with this  https://blogs.worldbank.org/education/world-bank-s-unwavering-commitment-early-childhood-education  https://thedocs.worldbank.org/en/doc/964641554906838005-0090022019/original/ELPECEbriefV9PRINT.pdf

whilst not every nation may design ecp the way abed does; everyone who gets involved with ecp's global movement knows abed's local advice- design playschool in which children see teacher lovers them - that's how children first learn most at school

it helps that lego has become a huge corporate sponsor; and the yidan prize was awarded to abed for ecp but has since be inspired by him to start a luminaries council- where every different jigsaw piece of education where children are loved is discussed across disciplines age groups between those wizards in edutech (yidan co-founded china's largest tech company tencent0 and those teachers whose love is experienced every second at school
