The world should have the same textbooks.
For example, students all over the world should study
mathematics from same textbooks. The same would go for
natural and social sciences. A diploma from India has to be
equally valid as that from any other country in the world. These
changes take time, but they have to be planned and not subject
to improvisations as it happens today. The profession of teaching
must be recognized throughout the world.
While we are at it, we should tackle a huge historic issue that
should be thoroughly studied and analyzed.
The language of communication in the future must be one and
only. Throughout history there were disputes as to which
language would dominate the communication between states
and people. Efforts were made to create a new language that
would contain words from many languages.
Different languages dominated in different periods. Nowadays, it
is the English language. It is prevalent in the spheres of politics,
commerce and in all other communications.
No matter which language will be used, it must be the first
language in every country, which means the first and only
language in the whole, and the second language will be the
mother tongue.
