Up next ►► If America’s education system is outdated, how can we evolve? | Derrell Bradford • If America’s education...
Our current form of education is almost 200 years old. What should schools of the future look like?
When COVID-19 emerged and school districts began to move to remote learning, the ability to access tutoring - be it peer tutoring, extra time with teachers, or small-group tutoring - became even more difficult.
schoolhouse.wo... puts the focus on a different aspect of remote learning. Where traditional online education offerings focus on pre-recorded lessons, courses, and practice sessions, schoolhouse.world is designed to provide real time feedback via peer tutoring and small group sessions.
The organization now boasts over 3,000 learners across more than 100 countries, with hundreds of online tutoring volunteers leading teaching classes and courses. Currently, those courses focus on math - from pre-algebra to calculus - as well as SAT prep, Indian Exams, and review sessions for AP exams.
Sal Khan, of Khan Academy and now Schoolhouse.world, says real-time online learning is where our dated education system is heading, a destiny accelerated by COVID-19. While internet access is not yet available to everyone equally, Khan believes we are getting to a place where it soon will be.

What do you think the future of education will look like?
More hands on and connected with the community.
Free
Personalized curricula
VR classes
Hologram instructors
I wonder even if there is any future for education!
upload education into the brain thought small piece of chip.
this voice brings nostalgia
This voice was how I made it through middle and high school
seriously. what a legend
How so
Those SAT days
I miss this voice

He's a Noble Prize. Nobel Prize needs him.

@@greedskith3020 Gotten what??
@@slevinchannel7589 😅flat earthers...😅😅
Ah, the sound of my physics/calculus/chemistry/biology professor
I got to admit that I have always taken his lessons with some caution because he covers a very broad range of topics, which makes me wonder if he's really good at it all to the point of giving us correct information. But I guess he has experts help him review his lessons before they get released.
In addition, it's been a long time since I last watched his videos and I guess they have improved and corrected possible mistakes over the years.
@@User-jr7vf from what I've seen it's all been good to go. I mainly use it to supplement what I'm learning in class because sometimes you just don't get it the first run through
@@User-jr7vf It is not a substitution to school of course but I think the unique thing about his school is the way he explain things in an intuitive way. I survived college based on his videos.
he makes all the physics/calculus/chemistry/biology videos of khan academy?
I dropped out of school in the 9th grade, mostly because I couldn't fit in with the structure. Thanks to KhanAcademy, I was able to catch up my skills in my own time, and study/develop an interest in a variety of sciences. I ended up getting my GED, and this spring I'll be finishing my BA in Engineering Technology. Never could have done it without KhanAcademy
That's so awesome to hear! Congrats!!
Wow ❤️wish u a good future 👍🏻
I recognize this mans voice. he taught me alot from khan academy.
He is great!
same
Wow, such an original comment. Lol
Doesn’t it seem a bit different?
Sounds like u remember the name
I have personally recommended Khan Academy to at least 50 people face to face and many more online. I honestly believe it is among the top ten percent of schools. It is Ivy League quality, and you have access to it. Use that advantage.
The funny thing about “Ivy League” quality is that it doesn’t correlate much with teaching ability. I am studying at the best university in Sweden and some teachers are worse than plenty of teachers I had when studying at a different uni
@@kevins6732 Congratulations on getting in. Either way, Sal is a very good teacher.
@@elinope4745 thank you. He truly is, I’m majoring in statistics and this semester ive learnt 80% of everything from the internet. It’s amazing
Good points! And for what it's worth there are some premier universities that put many of their courses online, like MIT OpenCourseWare: ocw.mit.edu/index.htm . Sal particularly stands out as an excellent communicator, though, and the website is a wonderful learning tool.
Same! I'm a science tutor for prospective Allied health students. Due to Covid, when everything went virtual, I feel like a lot of teachers and students were struggling to figure out this virtual education thing. I always recommend Khan Academy to students when they need help but don't have access to a tutor, teacher, etc. in the moment.
Minimal memorisation. More problem solving.
In a world where we have the equivalent of world-class libraries at our fingertips at all times, it really opens up a lot of opportunities to learn more advanced problem-solving skills and ways to use modern tools for incredible and creative purposes. If we can take advantage of that, who knows what the next generation could accomplish?
@@bigthink Yes!!
You said the magic words. I am writing about this in my book right now. Thanks 😊 🙏🏻
@@spiralsun1 Thank you! All the best for your book.
not me taking a break from studying maths only to see the instructor be in this video

Whoa his voice reminds me of my college admission test preparation... Thanks a lot sal I'm a physics teacher now.
By the way, are you in Japan?
Indonesian i think
@@User-jr7vf I'm indonesian
Incredible! Love hearing stories like this.
Sal is the man. I used him so much during college because his videos were easy to follow and they helped me pass difficult curriculum.
I’m sorry,
but this Man is too optimistic.

Could we decentralize the entire higher education system, make it accessible to anyone, while making it an order of magnitude better somehow? (deeper in actual understanding and less grade centered, mastery focused instead). Instead of "ivy league" you have very competent individual professors and not so competent ones. Professors get paid directly by the algorithm, cutting out all the administrative bloat. meet anywhere, or online, or maybe apple store looking places that are made especially to harbor activities like this, with a small fee to get in the building or something.
That's a really interesting idea!
Interesting ideas. But we have to untangle the administrative process. Department of Education need to renew their audit tools to allow this to happen. Being a professor or lecturer involve more than teaching. The reason they are being grade centered is because they need quantifiable metrics to be reported.
How're you going to check if the student has mastered the content without grades?
Could be, but like he pointed out, small groups and discussion is the core to good teaching. So high quality prof would be high demand so you'd need to filter who can access them.
Better access to quality lectures is a net positive, but it doesn't quite reach the quality of learning through tutoring or smaller classes where interaction is possible.
There's also the problem of money. In the society we live in, quality lecturers command higher salaries
The education system definitely needs to change and adapt to the modern world, but I hope people who have already been educated aren't left behind in a changing world they can't keep up with.
Your name and your statement are BASED.
Great point. One nice thing about KA is it's always available, so you can learn from it even when you're older. We're all going to get older someday, and it's definitely important to make sure previous generations, especially those without the same opportunities, aren't left out to dry.
Why will they be left behind. Everyone has the access to update themselves.
@@RAIRADIO Yes, but as you get older it becomes more difficult to learn new information. Also, adults won't be able to go back to school and learn the entire new school curriculum.
This man is a hero to so many students
He's a visionary educator
I learned more from this man than all my teachers combined
ah man Sal's Math lessons! I loved learning after that out of curiosity not school cramming
Schools and colleges are gonna fall. Education will become online for all. Even free maybe.
Our coming generations will wonder about how we went to school daily and paid huge fees for it.
Sal Khan is one of the greatest people in the last 10 years. Thank you for featuring him on this great channel.
Our pleasure! It's amazing to hear so many people sharing their experiences of learning from him.
Proud of you man!
From the country of your origin 🙌🇧🇩🖤
Sal's voice should be the default standard for all future AI configured teaching / tutoring robots.
Sal is a true genius. With two bachelors and two masters degrees. I hated the school system.. for me going to school every single morning at 7 am I hated it. then listening to boring teachers when I can not even fast forward them or mute them...was killing me and till this day...when my child say i don't want to go to school i tell them ok no problem then just jump on khans academy.
This man is one of the most consequential human beings ever to live on this planet! Imagine the impact and dent he has and will continue to have!
Khan Academy saved me from disastrous result and retakes.Hats off to this guy 😇.
If we were to (re)invent schools today, we should build upon all the pedagogical knowledge that we acquired since the time the current school system was designed. This could mean that a lot of things that are now typical for schools have to be reconsidered-do we need (or want) classes, grades, front-of-class teaching? Maybe school should be organized as a series of interdisciplinary projects led by experts of various topics in a system like that of the Khan academy. And above all, we should figure out a way to ensure that students actually enjoy learning. Education is not just about accumulating knowledge, but about personality development and preparing the next generation for future challenges no one can yet foresee. To achieve this goal, more than just a few aspects of the current school system need to be reinvented.
Man, saw this video and was instantly motivated to start using kahn academy again for algebra 2. I was doing awful, almost failing the class, didn't understand the material whatsoever. After 2 weeks I am proud to say I have brought the grade up to an A-, and am understanding more everyday!
So inspiring to hear, Sam! We need amazing autodidacts like you on Schoolhouse: feel free to give back to Algebra 2 students from aorund the world! You'll love Algebra 2 on Schoolhouse as we closely follow the Khan curriculum. (You can even get certified for your KA mastery!)
Sal really deserves all the love he's getting down here. I've got some kind of a mental defect where math literally puts me to sleep after about 15 minutes. A math curriculum where I could pause, rewind and fast forward to juke my brain into staying focused was a vast improvement over the standard model where if you fall asleep in one class, you're suddenly irrecoverably behind and just have to keep taking Fs as they pile on new material. I'm using matrices and differential calculus in my personal projects thanks to this guy.
Give this man all the awards that there are in history till today!
This guy is amazing and a real inspiration. It's a shame that most kids are more interested in social media than acquiring knowledge from high quality free courses.
Such a good point. I tried for years to get my son to learn on Khan and he never did and just didnt want to. It was frustrating.
He teaches with a lot of passion. I learned more and I had fun on Kahn Academy than my college classes.
We need to start kids out early with life skills, ethics, and behavior controls. Then work them slowly into technology learning. Make them earn the ability to learn distance learning. Bad behavior at an early stage will just be amplified be powerful tech.
i agree but i dont think schools are responsible to teach kids life skills and behavior controls. that is the parents job. Parents need more education just as much as the children do as well.
true but multiple studies show that much of the socialization is done in person. Kids that don't directly interact with each other at a young age and learn bad from good develop higher level of antisocial behaviors.
Now if the internet could replicate the negative response from others brought upon by mistakes and social missteps then maybe we could have something
This man is changing the world of education! I love Khan Academy so much!
My school uses khan academy. At first I hated it, I was new to the country and internet and it seemed too complicated. But now I find it fascinating.
Thank you 🙏🏻 sal it’s more than a degree love ❤️ khan academy
This man is truly a golden nugget in this world. However not only is our education system screwed, the world economy in itself is screwed. You can educate people all you want but if in the end it's all so they can join a broken system of infinite growth capitalism that pretty much has led to the destruction of this planet then it's meaningless. We need to educate people in new models of economies as well so we don't end up producing more of the same in the end. At least the economic structure of Khan academy is like this, it's not about making investors happy every quarter until infinity. But this has to become the norm because the meaning of life is way beyond materialistic gain.
13 years ago Khan Academy helped me understand high school math because I just "wasn't" a math person. Fast forward to today and I'm using it to review and get ready to go upgrade my math classes and also learn chemistry and physics so I can go to university and get a BSc in geology. Somewhere along the line during my 20s I discovered that I actually am a math person after learning how to do some game development, I just have to apply it to a subject I'm interested in. I love what Sal is doing, if it weren't for him I don't know if I would've graduated high school 10 years ago and I certainly wouldn't be trying to get into university.
I dropped out of high school sophomore year because it was boring for me and I felt I had other things I'd rather be doing. It was one of the best decisions I ever made. Through khan academy I was able to learn all the math I missed in high school and was able to pass a calculus 1 class. I'm now pursuing my Bachelors in computer science thanks to this man. Thank you.
I will never stop using Khan Academy. In College Math they made us use Aleks and it was so atrocious. Khan Academy > Aleks
That teenager is my brother, Sachin!
This man saved my entire life. Gratitude and respect!!!
I can't thank you enough for your contribution sir, love your work and may grace be with you forever
~your fellow student
His voice is always there with my learning journey
After my first semester in college, my brain clicked. Memorizing flash cards became monotonous, working with numbers became as easy as reading a book. Now a grad student in the physical sciences, partly thanks to Sal.
School would be so much different, if invented today.
Actually helping people in a visible and quantifiable way 😍 thank youuu
Kahn put the standard model for University on notice. Embrace change before it embraces you.
This is the kind of thinking that will set the next milestone in education.
Nobel Prize for Sal.
4:34 something about that got me teary-eyed
I’m sorry,
but this Man is too optimistic.
Yes, the internet does good and connects learn-willing people,
but it also does the opposite at the same time, and not less or smaller.

He is a Bangladeshi. We,the Bangladeshis are proud of him.
Half Bangladeshi, half Indian
Love Sal, really changing the world and feels like a genuinely purely good person.
Think about a futuristic world where a huge building in the center of every city named "KHAN ACADEMY" for free education.
Sal, you’re the top, the dream, the singularity ❤️❤️❤️
This man deserves 100% respect. His lessons with the black background is neat and straight to the brain.
Why does hearing the voice behind my sat review talk about sci fi feel so weird!?
Thanks for founding Khan Academy.
-from the Philippines
Salll 😍 just want to say thankk youuuu so much for the class of physicss
I'd love to see another interview with Sal Khan, this time on AI and human thinking in education! Khan Academy is already using GPT-4 in Khanmigo, and Sal has spoken about it on TED and elsewhere.
Khan Academy taught me biology better than my middle school, high school, and college combined. THANKS!
Pathetic that my teacher can’t teach a class of 30 student yet a random dude just uploading videos to teach his cousins with no qualification? taught millions of student worldwide
Khan academy can really change ur life.!!!.
my point of doin the impossible stuff i wish to pursue just seems a lot of easier thanks to khan academy and their videos not just about studies but about college lives...❤️
I immediately recognised this legendary voice
When will curriculums and enrollments begin for the general public?
Sal Khan is a true blessing to this world.
If you've watched the whole video... joining Schoolhouse will be a great decision of your life :)
What a nice cousin
We need more Khan academy not money sucking byjus..
Nobel should receive Sal Khan's prize!
way better education provider than Bhai jues.
A Great Educator A passionate model teacher
I think we need to give credits to the animator here. Like if you agree
He is so charming and passionate about what he does. You can clearly tel he is a happy person
if only there were some medium for imparting knowledge to everyone, I guess it would need to be enforced otherwise many would choose to disagree
He is truly an inspiration
Poor Sal, doesn't know that education reform is about making work easier for teachers. (Or alternatively making education into a profit center)
Khan has out-khan-ed himself. Great job.
Sal I thank you for everything
All I want to know is: who was so angry about people helping each other learn new things that they gave this video a thumb's down?
I would like to have an advanced ai as my personal teacher in my phone and devices in future.
@A H when you start the AI. It'll greet you " Hey, I am {insert.name}. Your personal teacher" Same as Neil Degrasse Tyson in StarTalk.
Great sales pitch! Another social network ! Mint money while reinforcing the paradox of bringing people together or connecting them online while isolating them in real life.
this guy needs every award ever made tbh
Khan academy is free
tutoring!
You're a hero! Thank you for all that you've done for this world.

I just love it when I get the notification that says "someone has liked your comment" or "someone has subscribed!" From All Call of Duty Spporters or 😎Cool People!😍❤ THANK YOU🌍
I have so much appreciation for Sal Kahn. I dropped out of high school, and used his academy to get caught up in math and chemistry. I'm currently finishing my senior year earning a B.S. in chemistry.
My 8 year old son uses Kahn Academy as well, and is able to excel at his own pace in math, and explore the worlds of physics and chemistry.
Even my 5 year old daughter uses Kahn Academy.
Such an incredible contribution!
This is pure gold.
kudos to Sal for this vision!
Remember my dear friend: no matter who you were, whoever made you down, still you're unique, beautiful, and talented🌸 how dare someone can rule on you? You're the the king\queen of your own life& happiness. You matter! Get up, go forward, and start doing what you like. You're the best, if you believe ✨
I believe in you, love from a small TH-camr 🖤
Why am I the only person who think Sal Khan is extremely over-rated. He sucks as a teacher. All he ever does is explain what's really easy.
The hero the world deserves. Thank you for teaching and inspiring the next generation of students and teacher, Salman.
School sucks.
We should just hook up our brains to a computer and upload all the knowledge we need.
Just like the Matrix.
One thing is certain: We need a new and more efficient way of gaining knowledge
Maybe Khan will be the one to do it
Maybe someone else
YES! What you said there right at the end - SELF / other ACTUALIZATION, which may happen through ESP is (I feel) the key to unlocking the secrets our infinitive universe holds. I think your vision is becoming a reality. What a gift you have, Sal! Seems like you found just the right way to use it. I hope I'm doing your work justice by spreading the message... that ALL. WILL. LEARN!
Sal I GIVE YOU ALL THE Credits in the world. BUT we need to move to the NEXT Generation. Please provide FREE IN-PERSON "Advanced" courses like computer programming, accounting, Medical Studies for Doctors, AI (biggest field), Environmental Science, Adobe Creative Suite Course "IN-DEPTH" not some BS, 3D programs (Maya/Autocade/Blender) TRUE Secondary Languages Mastery (English/Spanish/Mandarin), Auto Mechanical Training, MUSIC Mastery Training (Piano,/Guitar/Violin/ etc) and much more. Carpentry,, Plumbing, piloting. and SO MANY MORE! ADULTS NEED EDUCATION TOO! Still nothing beats IN PERSON . PERIOD. Thank you for your consideration. IF you reply, I will have HUGE IDEAS FOR YOU!!
Education is the foundation of society. It's absolutely crazy how poorly education has evolved compared to have we have evolved technologically. Education needs to be evolved!
Such a thoughtful way of putting words (as usual) by Sal Khan 🔥🔥 and he keeping in mind the famous saying by Aristotle (on personalized-touch based teaching) that ''Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all”.
He's actually that someone the world needs more of in the future (for humanity to hold onto moving in right dxn and reallyy thrivee) 💯💗✨
I love this guy, second favourite person after elon musk ❤️
As a good leftist that supports a higher quality education for everyone, I have to be at least a little apprehensive at any wishy washy attempts that claim to 'democratize education with the internet'. The biggest caveat is that this may very well be a trojan for a cheaper, more mass produced education where teachers are slowly replaced by barely trained technicians who are there to reboot a faulty station and know nothing of the subject that is taught. Although there is mention of a crowdsourcing element, there is a big limit at how a 15 year old can help an old man finish his high school diploma. Knowing a thing is not the same as teaching a thing. It's a very common theme these days, where wealthy entrepreneurs become overnight philanthropists in the field of education, preaching an LCD screen for the masses as they quietly send their own kids to a Montesori school with ten students per class. Learning platforms with a paywall are nothing new and shouldn't be dismissed entirely, but a lot of neglect can happen in so far as the students are concerned.
Hey Sal, one thing you could fix right now is the fact that on khan Academy it is either not accessible or not easily functionable enough for someone who is blind who doesn’t use the mouse and only use a keyboard to successfully get through all the questions . In many problems, a user must have to move things around to Aline pics or navigating around to find the information that is on a graph to answer the question properly. Could you fix this? Ai use jaws and NVDA screen readers with neither of them seeming to have an easy and accessible function to move graphics around and navigate on graphs on your guys program with only using the keyboard.
His videos are generally crappy, he has no idea of sound pedagogy. And he got Newton's Third Law completely wrong in the first video he posted about it, and it took him YEARS to make a better one--meanwhile he left the incorrect one up on TH-cam. What a huge disservice to people trying to learn basic physics!
What about the fact that during the pandemic every university course in the world was recorded such as Robotics at MIT, Biology at Harvard etc. These universities always take the moral high ground of being temples of knowledge, religiously presenting themselves as spreader of knowledge and light. And now all it takes for them to allow anyone in the world with the internet to access practically all taught subjects from all universities is to simply press upload button. No one’s talking about this.
