• Whole-person education :

Essential for global-age leaders

• Cross and multidisciplinary education :

Broad knowledge for comprehensive world view and problem

solving ability

• Education to make leaders :

Current education does not distinguish education for the leaders

and the followers even if those jobs are quiet different

GEA ObjectiveGlobal EDISON Academy

• Education geared for elites : Current education is too flat to produce good leaders, almost thesame curriculum for every school

• Education directly linked to applications and businesses :Most current academic research projects are hard to find practicalapplications

GEA EducationGlobal EDISON Academy

▶ Cultivate Global Entrepreneurs and CEOs

▶ Make a person who creates jobs instead of seeking a job made by someone else

▶ Make a person who leads instead of only following
