Billions of dollars are poured into global development every year, but results are lacking, says economist Karthik Muralidharan. Diving into an example with public education, he outlines how smarter resource allocation and evidence-based interventions, like learning software that dynamically responds to students and teaches at the level that’s right for them, can accelerate global development…

Economist Karthik Muralidharan argues that smarter resource allocation in education, not increased spending, can improve global learning outcomes. He highlights evidence-based interventions like personalized learning software and remedial tutoring programs that offer 10x returns on investment.

Meanwhile US: We’re cutting all federal education budget and closing the department of education. Now THAT is smart spending. /s

In a nutshell : a chain is as strong as its weakest link, as such, strength those to be successful. That is, uplift a struggling student or a poor person and you will automatically uplift your economy!

Incredible video, TED. Looking forward to your next upload. I smashed that thumbs up button on your content. Keep up the fantastic work! Your insights on optimizing public spending for better educational outcomes are truly thought-provoking. How do you suggest we encourage governments to prioritize evidence-based interventions over traditional but ineffective spending?

When wise spending is considered “unintuitive” in a Ted Talk then rest assured that you live in the infleshment of the movie Idiocracy.

  I don’t really blame people who panic. Lack of
  information can be a big hurdle. I’ve been
  making more than $200k passively by just
  investing through an advisor, and I don’t have
  to do much work. Inflation or no inflation, my
  finances remain secure. So I really don’t blame
  people who panic.

This is, hands down, the WORST take on education I’ve ever come across. 10 yrs of teaching, thought I’d heard most of it all now.

  Generally, when you shutdown a person with a PhD, you give reasons why. Literally, educate the public on your logic. Otherwise, you look like someone who is a teacher’s aid pretending to be a teacher who wants 5 minutes of fame

As an educator, I feel like it’s important to note that many educators want to go back and fill in the holes and slow down the education for that child but every time I’ve seen an educator try, we get scolded by our administration and get told to stick to the curriculum and small group will pull them and fill in the holes. I completely agree that they shouldn’t be trying to learn multiplication when they can’t even count to 100, but that is not the educators fault. The system needs to focus on letting teachers do what teachers do best (differentiation) instead of trying to put every child into a one size fits all curriculum.

This is actually step 2 the step 1 would be to build schools because in most developing countries more than 20 30% of the population is illiterate for the sole reason that there arent enough schools.
