“You cannot solve a problem from the same
consciousness that created it. You must learn to see

REALITY OF MANAGING CHANGE
“…there is nothing… more dangerous to manage than a new system. For the
initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the
old institution and merely lukewarm defenders in those who gain by the
new ones. ”
90% of learners pass mathematics, science and languages with at least 50% by 2030
