Barrack,
You can never replace the teacher.  By providing content to students, you only force the teacher to be more prepared or else the student gets bored.  You will enable lively discussions instead of teachers reading notes to studentsm

There are content opportunities on tertiary education especially on how to do it yourself.   These opportunities lie from plumbing to carpentry.  We talk about unemployment yet we have broken cistern pouring expensive water, broken sewers spewing diseases, broken furniture, broken vehicles etc.

Then there are economic opportunities in delaying consumption.  How to dry tomatoes, potatoes, mangoes etc.

We must start to think beyond our selfish ends.

Ndemo.
