Scott McNealy's Welcome to Curriki
Access to basic knowledge and learning tools for our children should never be proprietary. In fact, this can and should be a basic right of every child. Yet, over 100 million kids around the world do not have access to these primary education tools. We want to change this. The benefits to providing universal access to an education are endless.
At Curriki, the sole mission is to educate. By building a world class learning environment that is community developed and supported, and publishing it for free on the Web, Curriki works to ensure that anyone, from anywhere can participate.
This is about No Child, Parent or Teacher Held Back. This is about delivering access to free, quality curricula so that kids can go as fast as they can. This is about unleashing, not stifling, those who could solve some of our biggest problems, like avian flu or global warming.
Welcome to Curriki. We hope that children will learn as much as they can as fast as they can. We hope that everyone will share curricula, insights and lessons (and yes, funding) to help eliminate the educationdivide. By contributing and participating, you will personally make a difference. And, you may even learn a little yourself.
