World University and School: A Manifesto for Universal Free Education

Our North Star

Education is not a privilege. It is not a commodity. It is the birthright of every human being on Earth.

World University and School exists to make this truth self-evident—by building the infrastructure to deliver it.

The Vision: Education for All 7.9 Billion

We are coding for all 7,159 known living languages. Not the "major" ones. Not the "useful" ones. All of them.

Why? Because a child in a remote village speaking a minority language deserves the same access to MIT-level education as a student in Boston or Berlin. Because knowledge doesn't belong to English, Mandarin, or Spanish alone—it belongs to humanity.

We are building wiki schools in every language where people can teach and learn from each other, peer-to-peer, openly and freely. Every person becomes both a teacher and a student. Every language becomes a university.

The Infrastructure: Wikidata for Every Human

Every one of the 7.9 billion people on this planet can have a Wikidata PIN—a unique identifier that connects them to the world's knowledge commons. Not for surveillance. Not for profit. For participation.

At World University and School, you're not a consumer of education. You're a contributor to the collective intelligence of our species.

The Offering: From High School to Doctoral Degrees, Free and Open

Built on MIT OpenCourseWare and the best STEM-centric open educational resources, we offer:

  • International Baccalaureate high school diplomas (or equivalent) in all ~200 countries' main languages
  • Associate (AA/AS) degrees
  • Bachelor's degrees
  • Master's degrees
  • Doctoral (Ph.D.) degrees
  • Medical degrees (M.D.)
  • Law degrees (J.D.)

All free. All online. All accreditable. All open for anyone to teach, learn, and improve.

The Method: Wiki-Teaching, Wiki-Learning

Like Wikipedia transformed how we access information, World University and School transforms how we create and share education.

Anyone can:

  • Add a course
  • Teach a class
  • Improve curriculum
  • Translate materials
  • Learn at their own pace

This is education as a living document—constantly evolving, collectively maintained, freely accessible under Creative Commons licensing.

The Philosophy: Knowledge Wants to Be Universal

For too long, elite universities have been the gatekeepers of advanced learning. MIT's OpenCourseWare proved that world-class content can be freely shared. World University and School takes it further:

We're not just sharing content. We're building 200 autonomous universities, one for each country, each in their main language. And we're building 7,159 schools, one for every living language on Earth.

This is education that respects cultural context. That honors linguistic diversity. That says: your language, your culture, your knowledge matters.

The Call: Join the Revolution

This isn't just a project. It's a movement. A commitment. A recognition that in the 21st century, educational apartheid is no longer acceptable.

Whether you speak Mandarin or Maori, Telugu or Tshiluba, Quechua or Kannada—World University and School is for you. Whether you want to study quantum physics or teach traditional medicine, code in Python or share indigenous astronomy—there's a place for you here.

We're building a global university where every person is a stakeholder, every language is valued, and every mind can flourish.

The Time: Now

7.9 billion people. 7,159 languages. 200 countries. One vision.

Free, open, MIT-centric, wiki-based education for all.

This is World University and School.

Welcome. Teach. Learn. Build with us.
