Transferred from OLPC Wiki
OLPC proposes to give every child on Earth the means to be educated and ready to take a job upon graduation. But many countries are not creating jobs. [[Earth Treasury]] proposes to create a business curriculum for schools, and help them to link up and go into business together.
Ideas, please.
