Last week Minerva Schools at KGI based in the USA announced that it will welcome two sections of its founding classes in September. The institution claims to have "reinvented the university experience" with online delivery and will be granting the first cohort of students four years' of free tuition.
A new 'Ivy League' level school which uses interactive technology to deliver remote teaching at a quarter of the price of other elite, private American universities will begin teaching in 2014. Students will live and study together, in a new model that that CEO Ben Nelson hopes will revolutionise the education industry.
These students who will in the future run the world – would you want them to spend 75% of their undergraduate years in a secluded bubble? I want my future president to have lived and seen the world with people from other cultures.
