2008 World's Biggest Lesson - English

[mockeez87]

Hi I am abdulmojaimen of Philippines, yes! we need education.... education for all... I'm so thankfull if I am given a chance to work in GCE, I also to help people who denied from education!

[samg12345]

Africnas are probably the happiest people in the world, they lead a life one with nature, do not be misguided, africans have a better literate rate than most others even more than the so called developed countries. I have worked with Africans they are as smart or even smarter than most people across the world.

[Slippymicky]

You seriously need help if you think that. Lead a life one with nature? Does eating people's hearts and child soldiers fall into that definition?

[leoca]

"Right to education"

LOL

You have no rights!

[utsavman47]

and thats why you have become a retard

[leoca]

Yes, you have the right to be retarded and you are one.

Education is not a right.

[utsavman47]

says who

[Sapernik]

I took part as a lector and i am proud of that!!!

[doctorrin]

Anyone else feel this cause is BULLSHIT!?!?!

Not to mention a little over zealous?

[Xjkjk3264X]

Agreed.

(btw I hate when they use kids that talk because you can tell a kid anything and they will believe it)

[doctorrin]

Amen.

[DogDarko]

Che... Try telling those of UK society what a privilege education is!

(Speaking as a Scottish/Irish & Australian citizen living in Malaysia, teaching English).

There are people who would kill here to have the education that so many take for granted in the UK.

[neoclassic29]

When will developed countries try to put themselves into these peoples shoes?

[kwazi6]

Whole countries fitting into shoes? LOL. We WERE in their shoes 100,000 years ago, before we EVOLVED! FUCK THEM.

[GLK30]

Obama at 00:28?

[kwazi6]

LMFAO!!!

[darrellmellissa]

Thous aricans sure know how to run a country, If Obama get in we will try to do as good as they, Wont we be happy then.

[san26peace]

Many of these people have no food to eat.Problems of poverty must be the main

[Kopfschmerze]

I like the kid at :23.

"I could be a pirate."

Reach for the stars, you ambitious little boy. :)

[greyandcloudy]

he said pilot

[Kopfschmerze]

Shh, shh! Don't ruin it for me. :)

[GLK30]

hahahaha! "A Pirate"! How about the one right after that? "I could be a Dremelist". Get that boy a cutting wheel already why don't you!

[des895]

He did not say a pirate, he said a pilot.

[LOLisey96]

My old primary school was involved in that, it was great fun :)

[ciaoidea]

good video. TNX

[erbse86]

thanks 4 good video,this is 4 3th world war country if you don't have good future,them don't get any children,do make sex,but take care thans

[argbarb8]

great vid

but what is up with all these hate comments? i mean honestly it doesnt matter where someone is from or their race, everyone deserves the same! I hate how people think that just because they are African they shouldnt get education. People just dont know how to appriciate what they have and i cant believe a video like this doesnt change your minds. If this doesnt, then go watch Invisible Children, that should change your opinion and if it doesnt, im sorry you've got no heart.

[azaleen4u]

hey Ckestor92 before you give comments look your spelling..what you think Romania not poor?

[BeardedWoman20]

watch super jatt

give positive feedback

[SRGTBAKER]

they are poor what do u think we us people dont like school.

[grandw0lf]

I find it funny that a little boy from Sierra Leon mentions that he would like to be a Pirate.

Chances are kid. You will be.

[pmortimer10]

he says pilot

[pmortimer10]

he says pilot

[alpha0710]

Pilot you idiot

[Ckestor92]

U could be a lowayer ? And ingeneer ? At what factory, at what hospital, at what school ? U don't have that kinda stuff in africa. Why should the european coutnryes and america help these people ? They can't produce anything for the society, the have medium iq of 80 only cause they are black and 50 milions nigges that can read wo't help humanity with anithing. Why build a school there ? To be destroyed by a terorist withIQ 80 ? Better let them fu*k the hell out of eachother with their 20cm penis

[jaybesiu]

You must learn how to correctly spell and put your thoughts and ideas in correct grammar before you criticize.

[mMmmc0ffee]

You are so ignorant.

These people WANT education, and they deserve it. You obviously have the access to education but choose not to apply it to your daily life.

[teenprincess1119]

That is just ignorance. So what, doesnt mean a person can't get an education. It seems you havent had one either with your incorrect spelling, bad grammer, and sentence structures. Oh and black people have nothing to do with anything, race doesnt play apart in any of this. I have been taking college classes since 10th grade, I am a senior now. And guess what I am black and better then you will ever be. So keep your comments to yourself unless they are positive, and go get a better education.

[milkyab]

You are such a shithead!

Have you thought that the reason why they might have an IQ of 80 (which I'd say is infinitely more then yours) is because of a lack of education.

Your spelling and grammar are both terrible and I bet you go to school unlike them. What a big waste of time it was trying to educate an arrogant prick like yourself. And what a waste to the world community you are, arsehole.

[bleen89]

Was that adressed to Ckestor92???

[milkyab]

huh?

[kwazi6]

IQ is raw intelligence. It has no corelation to education. Africans are leagally retarded. So sorry.

[des895]

It is the heat that affects your brain.

[kwazi6]

R u being fecetious? Is that true? I wonder if temperature hinders brain evolvement? I was told sameness and lack of challenge caused evolution stagnation.

[doctorrin]

Well, evolution is always happening, it's an adaptation, not a "progression". So ideally, heat wouldn't slow evolution of your brain, it would merely adapt differently than the way a brain in the cold may adapt.

Evolution is changes of adaptation, not making you "smarter".

[kwazi6]

Well we 'progess' through evolution, agreed? If evolution does'nt make us smarter, then why are africans sooo much dumber than every other race? Hmmm?

[doctorrin]

No. Evolution = Adaptation

Not "advancement"

Fatality.

[kwazi6]

If there is a change in environment or situation, there is a need to progress. Y do u say fatality?

[doctorrin]

progress = better than the rest

measuring rate of evolution is damn near impossible. Can't say one is "more evolved" than another. The most you can say is one has ADAPTED to different environment than source B.

Evolution = adaptation of environment

Ultra Combo. Supreme Victory.

[kwazi6]

...and as we evolve, we progress towards perfection or satisfactory status in our new environment (if the environment becomes stagnant or stable). U have some sort of grudge against 'progress'. We can't measure evolution from the very beginning, but we CAN measure from the recent past. The people who have migrated the most distance over the past 200,000 years or so have become more excellent.

[doctorrin]

progress towards perfection? Prove that?

It is "adaptation". Enough said.

[kwazi6]

Adapting is progressing. Perfection OR satisfaction to the point of minimal DNA stress.

[doctorrin]

Evolution does not know human satisfaction, nor does it know perfection.

It knows to CHANGE TO SURROUNDINGS

That is adaptation and only adaptation. Ended.

Ryu Wins.

Perfect.

Time: 3000

Vital: 3000

[kwazi6]

Adaption slows and stops due to stable environment. Example: Africans stopped or slowed evolving 100,000 years ago after reaching satisfactory survival ability. YOU LOSE due to arrogance and ignorance. So sorry.

[doctorrin]

False. You don't know evolution theory then. Adaptation does not EVER stop. Ever.

However. This conversation stops here. When I realized you know nothing of what you are talking about.

[xtrashed]

You racists make me sick!

[kwazi6]

Uve been trained very well to not like ur broccoli by ur jew-masters.

[xtrashed]

Wik says. 'IQ is a score derived from one of several different standardized tests attempting to measure intelligence.'

And you don't have to apologise for making a stupid comment, the intelligent people can already see that!

[kwazi6]

My IQ is very high. Raw intelligence has nada 2 do with opinions. Except, ofcourse a smart person wudnt watch as much liberal television as u have, b/c anyone with a brain can smell all those lies and manipulations. Unfortunately, YOU HAVE SWALLOWED IT AND ASKED 4 SECONDS!

[WeFallChildren]

Liberal television, eh? Most of us just call it reality, jackass.

How does Bill O'Reilly's cock taste?

[kwazi6]

I don't watch television. I guess u do. That's y ur so screwed up. So sorry.

[WeFallChildren]

Yeah, you know, all those people watching television...real fucked up people they are.

[kwazi6]

Its funny, most of the time a fecetious comment is factual.

[WeFallChildren]

Not if the person who said it clearly intended it to be sarcastic. There is a difference between sarcastic and "fecetious" [sic]. Come back when you understand how to debate, how to spell, and when your vocabulary is extended.

[kwazi6]

I take it u have no imagination since u only come back w/ insults and corrections instead of any valid rebutle. My pc-utoob short-type is legible and efficient, ty.

[WeFallChildren]

Rebuttal of what? Your delusion that African children don't deserve education because they stopped evolving?

[kwazi6]

Nobody deserves anything they don't earn, commie. White designed education isn't compatible with african brains. africans belong in africa, learning how to live off the land.

[WeFallChildren]

So, I imagine you worked to put yourself through grade school (assuming you went). "I take it u have no imagination since u only come back w/ insults..." "...commie." Nice! Ignorant AND a hypocrite! If you knew anything about science in the least, you would understand that "African brains" are the same as every other kind of human brain. Except yours. When you get your hands off

Rupert Murdoch's shriveled dick for long enough to type a sensible response, let me know.

[kwazi6]

Jesus! Where do u come up w/ this crap? Rupert Murdoch is the 1st person I wud murder if I cud get away w/ it. I must inform u that the brain structure, cranial capacity, skull shape and ofcourse general IQ are very different. Check out some real studies and surveys on Eugenics. Just b/c YOU might have lucked out being in the top percentage or having benefitted from slave-owner breeding, doesnt make the rest of your people as smart as you are. Just feel fortunate and go do whatever.

[WeFallChildren]

It's so ironic, because you share his views. You don't need to inform me of anything, because, well, you're incapable of thought. And, my friend, I'm quite white, but unfortunately some of "my people" (i.e. YOU) really do bring the rest of the race down. So yes, I will feel fortunate in being intelligent and informed, and I'll just join the rest of my race in wishing that you weren't trying to speak for us. Go wallow in the sewers with the rest of your white-power buddies. Adios.

[kwazi6]

Everything RM touches becomes discusting and liberalized. Myspace was rad until he bought it and then inter-racial dating ads popped up. I deleted my account permanently. U shud identify urself before u get into a race argument with me. In this disgusting multi-cultural world, we are being squeezed and our heritage destroyed. If u want to hide in the shadows and hope that the jews, nigs and meztizos just "leave u alone", u have another thing coming. Stand up for your family.

[WeFallChildren]

Everything RM touches becomes far too conservative. Myspace wasn't really ever "rad," but if inter-racial dating ads make you cringe, that makes me giggle. I believe I did identify myself. Furthermore, I hope that I come into contact with all of those groups of people you mentioned, and more. Because you're damn fuckin' right - we're out to get rid of your ideology. You can't stop it. I won't be replying again, so you can have the last shot. It doesn't matter what you say, though. You're wrong.

[kwazi6]

FAKELY CONSERVATIVE. U have been duped by the establishment the New World Order into trading away your own heritage. When the house of cards fall, claiming ignorance won't save you. You will hang. I hope all can be saved, including perverted individuals like urself. Although I doubt it. U are firmly brainwashed. Thanks for "letting me have the last word", cunt.

[utsavman47]

no education ---> no job

no job --->no money

no money ---> no trade

no trade ---> no evolution of society and economy

and thats why Africa is in such a poor condition

[kwazi6]

Evolution of modern societies started long before money was invented.

Why have White and Asian countries' economies evolved and africans' have not?

no intelligence---> no anything

[utsavman47]

thnks for understanding

[Daracon75]

IQ of 80?? In Kenya... Africans have an IQ of 54. African Americans have an IQ of 80. That is after they HAVE been given adequate nutrition and schooling. Studies on IQ have found that maximum IQ levels are genetically inherited. That's why Africans in the US have the lowest IQ out of all races on a general basis. It would be a nice thought that it was ONLY because of education that their IQ was lacking but thinking that way would be untruthful.

[strngwbbr]

IQ tests are biased on many levels. If you've ever taken one you'd see questions like "the saucer goes with the...?" If you grow up in a family where your cups go with your saucers then you'd get the question right, if you didn't, you'd most likely get the question wrong. This would make IQ scores not genetically based, as you say, but culturally based. Saying that African Americans in general have an 80 IQ score is both inaccurate and more than a bit racist. And no, I'm not African American.

[Daracon75]

Just goes to show, you know nothing about IQ tests then. Because if you did, you would know that they took those factors into account and designed the IQ tests to suit the region/race.

It's racist telling the truth is it? Yeah, I guess it would be racist if I said they had dark skin too.

[AkumaMasurao]

Wonderful, we have youtube commercials now.

[asunweninger]

black, white , yellow or brown have the rigth to get into school and hey you are we in 2008? yes?

[MRBRESK]

schools are for fools

[nokia00001]

are you fool or not?

[hedgewytche]

Our society wrecks countless numbers of tribal communities all over the world, then presumes that "education" will fix everything. Trouble is, the education we really need is what we have destroyed: the knowledge of how to live in harmony with our environment.

[79zhukara]

FAILED african rules,otheres guts!! education is the key,  what? to they have Arrangement for a better educated solution!!!

[APCPLauren]

I wish the kids in Detroit had the same thirst for knowledge. 75% of them drop out.

[jinx4life888]

I could be a gangsta

[vinci64da]

more of this pls

[vinci64da]

more of this pls

[enriyy]

This is important because they want it.

May you could be what you're dreaming.

[MnBvCxZghaan]

Edicatuon is bulsshit.I neva neded no edicatuon. Lok at me noww. Im am a succes.

[sheniehstick]

yah.,nice grammar you have there.

[argbarb8]

you cant write either

[classicxbox321]

why should we educate these stupid brainless nigger monkeys? they dont need food. they should be in cages eating chitlens and greens and sitting on rocks.

[kxllu]

Classicxbox321, I feel so very sad for you. You have no sense of humanity. What you just said was pure hate; pointless. It's disgusting. You are a nasty person and by no means a real man.

Don't forget, what comes around goes around.

[000Freek]

yes the are brainless, but if you send them to school they will get smart.

did you Finnish school? i don't think so

[jobob111]

LMFAO!

that is so racist its wrong.

[squigglzzz59]

actually forget what i just said i don't think it made a lot of sense... kids... don't smoke weed... jk you probably should

[shortfeild]

What's with all these bad comments, you think that because they are in a different country that they should fend for themselves? Think about it, we are all on the same land, we are all human no matter what part of the world we are from. If your neighbor needs help, you help in any way you can.

[KillEveryoneKillPhil]

i dont see it happening the goverments of the world are to interested in war.. :(

[cross12020]

Its called castration, quit having babies. Fuck the other countries, what about our own?

[Slippymicky]

No kidding. They got the richest land on the planet over there. If they can't get it together (It's going on 50 years now.) that's their problem.

[squigglzzz59]

not really, it's not like it's their fault, they're where they are right now becuase of no influence from other empires throughout history and because of poor distribution in the country. the government is full of dumbasses, not the people. just cuz their land is rich doesn't mean that they can change their distribution.

[generationforchange]

great video!

[xKevinUnderwood]

Good video. Organizations like these makes the world a little better.

[abhishek727]

whats all this brawling? The video has a clear and noble objective. We should all work together to make the most basic of rights-education, a reality for all.

[copyhut]

Education is not a right.

[beachin77]

are you serious?! so it should only be available to those with the funds or the means to achieve it? the world won't get much better if most people think like you . . . education is the key to a better future for all.

[switzerlicious]

Agreed. Many who stand up for "rights" do so misguidedly. A morally "good thing" isn't grounds for widespread taxation to make that thing happen. Bikes are a good idea, should we say it's a basic human right that people have bikes and then pay for it through taxes? Isn't something similar going on right now with houses, sub-prime loans, large bank failures, economic failure. You can't just throw money around because it seems like the nice thing to do. Cruel world, but that's just how it is.

[Slippymicky]

Exactly. I like how it's a burder WE in our countries have to shoulder for them.

[Jacob1699]

okey I did watch the video now.first of all it is a english girl who talk hmm what did england do to africa back in time oh yeah they did take over the hole contry and made this shit to them! and now they try to help them ofc its good but still this stuff havent changed in a long while so why woud it change now? to quit war is the first and most important thing right now and it have and will always be the most important thing in the world! NO WAR ON EARTH PLEASE!

[scorpviox1]

part of no war on earth is reeducating the planet not to wage war on each other why do all these african countries wage war on each other its because they dont know any better, and maybe if uve been following england is the country that has funded the most money in the developing world, i just think ur agruements are undeveloped and hypercritical.

[Narakukun]

I do agree that taking a standpoint of Britain only supporting African children out of regret is a misguided point. However, most world leaders are educated and still make war. Africans aren't ignorant whether they have schooling or not. Man makes war because it is his nature. Man is greedy and avaricious.

[45Logic]

Her accent is more akin to Indian English.

Also, war cannot be 'quit' as long as someone profits from it.

[scotpens]

The last time anyone seriously believed it was possible to abolish war was in 1919. Why should countries resort to violence to settle their disputes when the League of Nations could sort everything out? And we know how successful that organization was in preventing war.

It isn't only a question of profit. War is intrinsic to the human condition. Mankind is a tribal species, and different tribes will always find reasons to fight each other. That's not being pessimistic, just realistic.

[45Logic]

Exactly, scotpens --war is as inevitable as gravity and hurricanes. Peace is a luxurious illusion enjoyed by those insulated (usually through acts of war) from the greater context.

[Jacob1699]

its useless to talk to a human whitch have disied himself for just listen on himself like that dude who did replay my comment.what I saying is that this video is useless becouse this shit stuff have been goving in more then 20 years and it havent changed a thing more then maybe it get a bit better but not so mutch in africa.so why do ya all seems to just think oh I am so good becouse I give money to poor childrens do you even know where the fuck the money goes and how little it is? stupid.

[bryanzgirl4life]

i know and think of the slaves they died and got tourtured just trying to get an education and we are complaining

[a3laaaa]

great done! 5 Stars from me too

[slinkyt1]

Well said, thats just what I was thinking, I'm busy just now, but when I'm older I'm planning to go over and live like children in poverty do, while simultaneously trying to fix their problems

[julinciatkoBN]

really nice video, great & true idea..i like it

[RADO420]

bonelopez said it!! its the truth...

[bonelopez]

leaders all over the world only have money for war... they can't give free education

[Sobergr]

Lolol. they got money for that as well. but they dont want u educated

[Sonicobbsessed]

your right, education should be free. because even the pooret of children can do smething great, but there not getting the chance.

[mrsellemby]

they have much more money than just for war. to them, this is not a significant matter. :/

[campaignforeducation]

7.5 million people took part in the World's Biggest Lesson on the 23rd April, and we're still counting numbers as they come in!

[campaignforeducation]

Brilliant! Come on, help kids go to school!!
