Embrace The C Student - Academic Excellence is not all about grades | Kaene Disepo | TEDxUniMannheim

WHAT WILL HIS TEDx TALK BE ABOUT?
The Talk will introduce an analogy of three types of students: A, B and C. The ‘A’ student is the one who enjoys the assortment of alcohol and chases after life’s pleasures while neglecting their education. The ‘B’ student is the commonly referred to as the book worm, those that focusses more on passing and become fixated on the idea that achieving the best grades possible is, perhaps, the only route towards financial freedom: job security. Then you have the ‘C’ student, the chaser. The ‘C’ students strive to become multifaceted, realising that there is more to school than getting first class or in fact, getting that diploma is not the only guarantor of life success. The talk shall draw on both personal experiences and those from other inspirational people, showing how they have been able to succeed without necessarily being the ‘B’ student and why it is crucial to develop that mentality especially in our era.

I wonder if he’s aware that back in the days most of the high schools in Botswana had part of vocational training like Swaneng Hill School. The gentleman who spearheaded it was a German by the name Jan Van Rensberg?
