Kirill believes that education is the key mechanism in making the world spin progressively. It is the path the majority of humans must take that shapes them from confused children to active participants of society. It is also the place where children spend most of their time outside of home.

Although generational burdens of outdated thinking can be passed on to our parents, an innovative educational system is what inevitably breaks these deadlocks or inflicts critical reasoning upon young adults. Consequently, it is the system that raises the thinkers and leaders of tomorrow.

Kirill’s concern is that the educational establishment does this appropriately - inflicting the right morals, manners, skills, and information upon the developing and adaptive mind.

The main challenge for education systems worldwide is the ever-so-quickly developing world, the information, and understanding about which is harder and harder to accumulate into 15 years of class. Kirill’s mission is to build an education system that is adaptive to this rapidly developing world and to start a revolution in the collective perspective of education’s role in society.

Kirill’s motto: The two key components to progress are variation and communication. The greater both are, the faster innovation thrives.

Student at PORG School in Prague, the Czech Republic.
Marie studies in one of the top high schools in the Czech Republic - Nový PORG in Prague. Being in a highly academic and competitive environment she has learned that a chaotic flow of endless informational sources can be often overwhelming and counterproductive. Everyone has a different experience with the university admission process, which often contradicts one another.

Preparing for her studies in London, she would like to offer a distinct perspective on this issue and inform about possible extracurriculars or experiences that have inspired her and that will help guide students to incredible opportunities.

Marie finds inspiration in interacting with new people from all around the world. Due to this and her love for writing, she dreams of becoming a journalist. To feed her interest she often attends Model United Nations conferences and helps organise her school’s own MUN.

Marie is currently learning her fifth language and generally engages in different scholarly and extracurricular experiences, which she is happy to share with the readers of Clever Magazine.
