Lifting billions of people out of poverty and desperation; It also means averting the social decay, political chaos, and so on.
• Economic miracles do not happen out of the blue; they are based on education miracles.
• Free basic education and affordable technical education for the poor through public-private partnerships.
• Creating a win-win situations between bop & top by removing disparity.
