Sorry about the late post!

Having watched the Ted Talk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qqqVwM6bMM) what were your thoughts of the 'Barefoot movement'?

Some questions to facilitate discussion:

1) Could programs like this be implemented in more affluent countries? Why/why not?
2) How do programs like this benefit the individual as well as the community?
3) What are the benefits of employing unqualified staff at the school?
4) The video explains that is it more important to educate women rather than men. Why do you think this is the case?
