Patrick Awuah: Educating a New Generation of African Leaders: TEDGlobal 2007 Video

Patrick Awuah left a comfortable life in Seattle and returned to Ghana to co-found a liberal arts college. Why? Because he believes that Ghana's failures in leadership -- and he gives several mind-boggling examples -- stem from a university system that fails to train real leaders. He explains how a true liberal arts education -- steeped in critical thinking, idealism, and public service -- can produce the quick-thinking, ethical leaders needed to move his country forward.
