EDUCATION IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING|| Jack Ma Motivational speech ||Motivated soul|Motivation💪💪

and I think this time is the most critical period for the world to discuss the most important and critical topic that is education the world is changing so fast and I think the thing that we need to change fast is education system and I'm not the expert I'm a amateur I'm not a pro on the education I was trained to be a high school teacher um I I filled exam uh exams for enter University again again again so after 3 years of hard working I was accepted by Hanzo Teachers College which considered the fourth or fifth class of the university in China but I think that's the bestest School I've ever heard the bestest University in the world and they trained me to be a high school teacher and that time only the worst students in China can be should be go to the teachers that's why the education had a big problem but I'm happy to see the piece of result China has a great result this year and um the world change as I said in probably 20 years 50% of the jobs that today we have will all disappear we'll create another you know 50 or 60% of the jobs which we never can even imagine where the education should be and we our kids they should worry about we all worry about ourselves we should worry about the kids where they can have jobs they can survive in the next two centuries and what are the lives that we and our people and our kids should have these are all the things that we should discuss about and I said to China China last year only have 12 million new babies born which somebody said 17 but I think like around between 12 million to 17 million China in next 50 years we decided by this 12 to 17 million people and this 12 17 million people what kind of education system we give them how we can improve them that also influence the world and I was trained as an English teacher at that time China just start to have English courses we don't have enough teachers English teachers to teach English so my teacher she was teaching math so in the morning she go she went to learn ABC and in the afternoon she came to teach us the thing she inspired me she said Jack your pronunciation is better than mine most of the courses that I am good at all is because the teacher is good the teacher encouraged me to go ahead and the some of the courses I had a terrible course study result on chemistry because my chemistry teacher does not like me those teacher don't like me I don't work if the teacher like me me I work hard and I found most of students doing things like that and from result of the test I was not considered to be a good teacher a good student you know I always fill exams the teacher said this is you they write on the back board and say this is what I taught and when we tast the exams I have to answer exactly the same but I think that is not true so I always criticized put the the botom but 20 years passed those great students my classmates in the primary school middle school universities they still stay there and we're running fast I never stopped studying I think Society is the best universities and I enjoy that a lot of people learn to work and the future we should work to learn we should continue to learn all the times and I never got one day training to be how to be a CEO my venture capitalist early days said Jack you should giving a CEO job to the others because you don't know how to be a CEO and I said no I don't know how to be CEO but I later I found I could be a good CEO because that the skills that I learned from being a teacher I call myself CEO Chief education officer I learn everything I learned from a being a teacher Inspire your students trust your students believe in your students enable your students all the teachers want their students to be excellent all the teachers want the students to be good you know this guy become a banker there's a mayor that is an engineer there a scientist no teacher wants his students to be impr prison bankrupted or in trouble when you have a good heart you look the students students can feel it this is the way I do as a CEO in my company I trust my people I en we enable them we do anything we can to make people like a people not people like a worker so today a lot of people fighting for or work hard for education and we try to solve the problem of putting everybody has the chance to get education that means we need to me I think education is just like a food you need feed the people so we should have food for everybody for every kids this is very important every childhood every children in this world should have the equal education opportunities but the other thing which is more important what education we should give our kids what food we should give we know if you give terrible food the kids will have diarrhea the stomach problems and what there are two things today in the whole world are very very important the first is everybody has a chance second everybody should have a right education thing content so what I believe that at the industrial period everything we want to make standardization but the AI period we want a differentiation make everybody different right it is to enable yourself DT the data technology is to enable the others the real fairness of education is differentiate make everybody every kids have the right education that he needs make everybody be the best of himself and I always think a school should be like a zoo it's all kinds of animals this is what I did in my company I hate to turn my company become a farm group of chickens or Ducks I want all kinds of animals they're versatile so you know you can never judge because we have kpi we should should not give a kpi for a chicken how many eggs a chicken will have and put that kpi on a line on a tiger lion tiger stupid so we have to having making sure the schools like a zoo and a un and our company like a Zeus in Industry period we we make the assembly line that make every people like a product should be seen whether you're good you're smart you're stupid this is the way that you do you it's the food you eat and education become that kinds of assembly line it's a disaster animal has the Instinct machine have the intelligence but human being have the wisdoms in the digital period we have to think very clearly what is the difference between human and machines if we worry about machine will repace people because people and machine are too similar if we worry about machines that's the problem not machine the problem of human beings so if you do everything on a standardization it can be replaced unfortunately I'm only internet business we know that if it everything is standardized if everything is logic you would be problem we designed our own technology 15 years ago at that time we we do not call it AI we call AI Alibaba intelligence we do not call artificial intelligence we find everything if there's a logic if there's a logic machine can do better if there's no logic people can do better see sometimes we don't know why this boy loves that girl there's no reason he loves her or there's no reason she loves him but they're loved but when you hate somebody it's a logic when want do some bad things there's a logic if there's a logic machine can do better and what we did in our company is that we teach machine to to arrest to catch to find all the bad behavior of people arrest the bad guys because we have so much money transaction every day people try to steal money when you have a plan when have a logic M machine can do better so I think at the digital period if you focus too much on standardizations you will be replaced by machines human beings have to do the things that should be creative constructive feelings that machine can never be replaced if a machine will never embrace the change human being can change machine will never continue to learn like a human and we if we try to live like people in the past Century it's going to be disaster so in the industry period 100 students we only use one methodology to teach but in the digital period 100 students students we might have and we should have probably 120 ways of of teaching because we need have the 20% extra because 20% extra students they may like may never obey the rules so we need have 100 students have 120 ways of teaching in the industrial period we make people like a machine in the digital period we make machine like people education must reform schools must reform teachers need to reform and classroom needs to reform in the past we give students in the we the teachers give students knowledge in the class but in the future students and teachers May working together to learn in the past teachers know more than the students in the future students may be no more than the teachers in the past when class 40 minutes one class 40 students and every day we have like seven classes this standardization I don't know where it come from but it was should be designed for industry period in order to use limited Resource as few Resource as possible to train as many people as possible so 200 years ped the industry period is moving to the digital period we have to Le rethinking what are the education the content the way we teach to the people and the past classroom is to supposed to teach students the right answers but in the future most of the qu things we don't have answers teachers may not know experts may not know nobody know we have to learn and work on together in the past classroom uh in the class in the future classroom uh in the real world I was in in Israel last year discussed with with the minister of Israel why in Israel a lot of kids a lot of young people are so independent he told me you know they're lot of kids they have to go to the uh remote areas mounting areas to learn how to survive the kids always have to face dangers education is not to prevent our kids for not having dangerous things no problems but education is to train our kids to face the dangers face the ways when problem comes in the past in China especially we put we lock our kids to keep the kids close them how could you you know this is a very different culture way I found the China soccer team is a terrible soccer team for 1.4 billion people we cannot select 11 people to to win Mal which is only of 20,000 people there's something wrong with the culture something wrong with the education you know when our kids our parents never want us to ask questions and Challenge questions when we Face conflicts we shrink so our football players they take the goal into the into the front when people stand bumped we all run away so people say China have no rules I think there's China rules if there's something there is a net in the middle we always do that good if there's no net in the middle we all in trouble basketball football we're all in trouble if there's a pinpoint you know we're good singular we're all good we have one child of family one child every child is the king of the families we learn to teamwork if the kids do not learn to teamwork how can China teamwork with the other world with other countries so this is all about education the world has changed you can never imagine that in the classroom you lock the students they learn the skills to face the future challenges it's impossible the future education is about to teach our kids to survive in the outside world to solve the problems when when you confront the the conflicts it's impossible that you don't have any conflicts but you have to face the Comforts and soft Comforts in the confrontations so this is lot of challenges that we have for education that need not education experts need amateur like us need people from every field everywhere to working together and I don't like a lot of G2 G20 g g whatever meetings they always put questions there's no directions we need directions we need leaderships we need to know where is the future how we can do it together so this is the most we are not coming here to complain we come here to looking for Solutions so as amateur the beginner of Education I feel guilty myself I only teach in the school for six years and now I think I have the resources I retired from chairman of Alibaba position I put most of my time education and I would to learn from you discuss with you debate with you fight with you I have some amateur suggestions in China give one first the suggestions let's put most of the resources from University PHD master degree to Primary School kindergarten middle schools that is more too late when you try to change a University students about most lots of the functions of the human beings you you have to you have to train them when they are still in kindergartens in the primary schools I find especially most of the developing countries they always want to compete you know one of my university in this country is a ranking number what what what of numbers in the world we should have a ranking what kind of kindergartens primary schools middle schools are that so please put more resources on the front instead of the back and the second it's also very important we should we should fight for the teachers and I absolutely agree with the report oecd the X talking about we should if we respect teachers we respect knowledge we respect education we respect the future education is about the future so we should give teachers the best recognition we should give the teachers the best to pay because if we respect them and they will respect the jobs they respect the kids kids and I think everybody's talking about education is important when we talk about budget it's another thing right I think and the other thing teachers are important we have we I've been my Foundation been working on the China rural area educations there about more than 30 million kids study in the rural areas in China they're about close to 3 million rural area teachers about you know five or six years ago today we have like a 2.7 million rural area teachers we find to helping kids in the rural areas the best way is helping teachers a good teacher can help 200 students in his life at least if you cannot Inspire teachers the teachers how can they Inspire the kids so we do a lot of work finally we find a lot of teachers give up teaching in the rural areas you know what because they don't 60% will give up jobs because they don't like Headmasters they hate their head Masters because none of the Headmasters got a one day training how to be a Headmaster and this is the problem I found in many many areas those these teachers they been there for teaching for 10 years and become a Headmaster they don't know what is accounting what is leadership what is Headmaster is supposed to be the minister of the village of the local towns so we realize that we should focus on Headmaster a Headmaster can inference teachers a teacher can INF 200 students that is the system and what a minister of Education supposed to do is should make a policies to enable Headmaster do better job Headmasters should do better jobs to enable teachers do better job teachers and then they should spending time to inspire the kids and we should with the technolog revolution we should Inspire and encourage more excellent those people have knowledge does not mean he he know how to teach right Michael Tyson's boxing training if they have competition I don't think he has chance to win Michael Tyson it's the people who Inspire the people who know how to teach so we should focusing Along on that and the third is that we need bad quickly change the kpi of Education not test test test test results we have to change the test the formul if we think examination is the only way the standard for the education if that is the kpi I don't think education will go to the right direction so I asked a lot of high school students in China what what's your hobby what do you want to do in the future said I don't know he said I don't know I just want to go to good University why you want to go University I don't know I just want to go University that is the problem many senior stud Senior High School students they don't know what they want to do they just don't want to go University because they think University is the guarantee of jobs from my 20 years experience in Alibaba we found univers you know most of the universities where they graduate we have to train them absolutely totally different University does not mean you will guarantee the jobs we don't hide people from har MIT because they har the it they have the way to learn we hide those people because they ready to learn they want to change they want to create they want to learn all their lives with hide them not because for me those people got master degree or doctor degree it just the receipt of the tuition his father paid
