America's Education Disaster Africa Must Avoid At All Costs

In this video, TJ reacts to a growing debate among teachers in the US and UK who are openly discussing the alarming decline in student performance. Educators describe what they call an “addict-like” behavior in children who are separated from their phones—devices that flood them with dopamine and leave them disengaged in the classroom. TJ breaks down how traditional teaching has lost much of its authority, with students no longer feeling the weight of consequences when they misbehave, while at the same time struggling to focus without constant digital stimulation.

Against this backdrop, TJ explains how a radically different model of education is emerging—one that uses artificial intelligence as the core teacher. In these schools, children spend only two hours a day with an AI tutor that adapts to their individual strengths and weaknesses. The AI pushes fast learners beyond their grade level while giving slower learners the time they need. The rest of the day is dedicated to practical life skills: financial literacy, teamwork, communication, and confidence building. The results are astonishing—students are performing up to ten times better than their peers in traditional schools and in some cases completing exams years earlier.

TJ argues that Africa has a unique opportunity to leapfrog the “dopamine zombie” phase currently plaguing Western classrooms. While smartphone penetration is rising, the average teenager across much of the continent still does not have the same constant access to devices as in America or Europe. This creates a window for African governments, families, and entrepreneurs to explore AI-driven schooling models before addiction takes root. TJ also points out that this approach could be a powerful entry point for diaspora looking to invest in Africa’s future by building next-generation schools that prepare young people not just academically, but for real-world success.
