Just as relevant to Africa as it is to the United states.Directed by Greg Whiteley, Most Likely to Succeed is:
A documentary on the impact that innovation is having on our economy and the consequences for our country if our education system fails to keep pace.


Our education system was perfectly designed...to prepare workers for routine jobs that no longer exist. As we try to out-drill and out-test Korea we are leaving millions of young adults ill-prepared, uninspired and lacking the skills they need to thrive in an innovation economy. After seeing this film, you'll never look at school the same way again.
