Worldwide we are facing a massive mismatch of teachers and students. But rural schools have especially always struggled to acquire and retain talented teachers. As rural education has a direct impact on rural incomes, we set out to find solutions to this problem in Myanmar and discovered that the shortage of well-trained teachers, especially in rural areas and in the sciences, is nearly universal. The solution to this problem turns out to be one of the fastest and least expensive ones. The model is very portable and we are now exploring expansion to South Asia. The future of education is now, and it is in the palm of our students’ hands.
