In a BBC World TV programme known as `Africa Game Plan' telecast at 9 PM IST on 10 July, Mr Kofi Annan, former Secretary General of the United Nations said "Institutions are more important than individuals". (The programme included Desmond Tutu, Graca Machel and Lakhdar Brahimi as well. These veterans spoke about what lies ahead in Africa after the World Cup). I wish decision makers in our K-12 school systems, syllabus boards and textbook publishing industry think the same way as Kofi Annan does, with just 5 years to go before the Millenium Development Goals deadline, considering the fact that India was one of the signitories of the UN Convention.
