Education. Power. Control. Liberation.
While the world is locked onto AFCON and Cameroon steps onto the pitch today remember this: football has never been just a game. It’s about power, money, identity, struggle, resistance, and hope. The same is true of education.
In my book, School Is Dead: But There Are Opportunities toResuscitate, and on my podcast Education, Power and Social Change, I expose a hard truth:
School wasn’t designed to liberate us, it was designed to control us.
Yet education still holds the power to set us free.
With 2 new episodes now live, we explore how systems, from classrooms to stadiums to global politics, shape who wins, who loses, and who gets silenced. Media headlines and geopolitical tension constantly fight for our attention, but beneath it all lies a deeper battle:
👉 Who controls knowledge?
👉 Who benefits from the current system?
👉 And how do we reclaim education as a force for justice — not obedience?
Just like a team can flip the script in the last minute of a match, we can rewrite the purpose of education, globally. But only if we first dare to question it.
Join the conversation. Challenge the system. Reimagine what learning can be.
