Youth at Rescue!

Can Youth Save Our World ?: Alexander M Zoltai writes about the story of The World’s Youngest Principal - 17-year-old Zhang Yong and throws up some very powerful questions!

How do you think youth can be helped best to understand the world?

How do you think adults can be educated to accept the power and creativity of youth?

As we ponder over these, Alex shares a few inspiring quotes, one of them being:

“The cause of universal education deserves the utmost support,
for no nation can achieve success unless education is accorded all its citizens.
Such an education should promote
the consciousness of both the oneness of humanity
and the integral connection between humankind and the world of nature.

By nurturing a sense of world citizenship,
education can prepare the youth of the world
for the organic changes in the structure of society
which the principle of oneness implies.”
