so in 2009, kahn finally quit his day job and partnered with the gates foundation and google to form the kahn academy. here's how it works. students watch the videos and then work on a problem set based on the lesson on the website. if you pass, you move on to the next lesson. if it looks like you don't understand the concept, the site takes you back through what you are missing. the goal is not to replace the traditional classroom. the goal is to liberate it. >> the idea of students being grouped in age-based cohorts and then going at a set pace, this is the school we all grew up in. this is actually not the way students were educated for most of history. >> reporter: instead, kahn and his allies seek classrooms tluming with creative activity, spurred by the fact that kids will have already engaged the subject matter through the online lessons. what is your ideal classroom look like? >> it won't be a bunch of chairs all positioned looking at someone in the front of the classroom. it will be a much more collaborative pace. it's not one size fits all anymore. the teacher will be doing

i have committed on behalf of the gates foundation that david leonhardt will be the first to sit in. s. [applause] >> thank you. good afternoon. i want to talk a bit about higher education. the reason i picked that is because i think it has been a huge strength of the united states, very important thing that has allowed us to fund our broad set of activities and be a leader in the world and the world depends on us doing it quite well. education is one of the two big areas our foundation is focused on. in the united states virtually everything we do comes under that umbrella, scholarships, works with libraries, a lot of work with k-12 but our work in higher education is a growing activity and one that we think is at a very important juncture. another way to look at this is to think about it as a specific case study of some of the budget trade offs that will be made in the years ahead. the federal government plays a very important role in hiring education and the choices that are made about those policies are going to make a huge difference. 1-way i look at this is i say we do have -- p

forum in davos switzerland, liz claman asked the man behind microsoft and the bill and melinda gates foundations crusade to help those in need. >> -- emergency where people in the rich countries were getting access to the medicines that were saving their lives but most of the epidemic was in poor countries so the question was these medicines that only cost $100 per year, would they die because that generosity wasn't available? so it was created for that. it also took on malaria and tuberculosis so three of the big killers. and the generosity to global fund has been pretty phenomenal. they have been able to raise a bit over 3 billion dollars a year. it goes to buy those drugs and get them out for the very poorest countries. liz: bill, you mentioned vaccines. i want to get to that because that's preventive. that saves a lot of money down the line, does it not? >> that's right. for any disease where you have a vaccine like measles or polio, the key thing you need to do is simply get it out to everyone. for the three global fund -- we don't yet have a vaccine although the foundation and the u.s. go
