The critical challenge is to make education at all levels accessible & affordable, especially for young ppl from developing countries. Let's stop progressing commercialization of education & open education in developed countries to students from the developing world.

True but the problem is who & how defines media & media workers. NATO deemed it appropriate to bomb 's Radio & Television in 1999 b/c it was 'not a media house but a propaganda tool'. 16 'non-media workers' were killed. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_bomb….

I stand behind this statement. Urban economic resilience should be mainstream education in all city plans & strategies: spatial, capital investment, financial, etc. Econ resilience is a special perspective analyzing the capacity of various urban systems to resist econ shocks.
