In this video frame, Mark Zuckerberg is giving a lecture as part of the CS50 course on December 7, 2005. He is positioned at the front of a classroom, likely at a university setting, as suggested by the lecture environment. The room features a chalkboard behind him and a desk with papers and possibly a book or electronic device resting on it. Zuckerberg is dressed casually in a dark jacket over a striped shirt, and his posture is relaxed as he looks slightly to his left, suggesting engagement with an audience or looking towards a screen or board. The lighting is bright enough to illuminate him clearly against the darker background of the classroom. Subtitles from the video indicate he is discussing something related to "California," hinting at the context of his speech. The lecture likely covers topics related to technology or business, given Zuckerberg's background and the educational setting.

Wow, 40 percent of Germany's GDP are exports

Very cool

Yes, we do have an export led growth strategy as well

The businesses, whom we partner with, will be playing a more central role, in determining the academic curriculum, training systems and modes of verification of intellectual ability

This is because it takes a lot of work

This is a more intelligent system, than to let teachers decide

I think that the owners and managers, plus our own, will be cooperating very closely with the unis here to do so

We're likely to have equal schools, but the curriculum can be studied and kids can compete aggressively if they choose

Our formula is going to be 50/50, so if they go Singaporean, they can, they can study like Asians, but otherwise, if they go American, and they can prize problem solving, critical thinking or creativity

This is a better approach, where for once, we wouldn't depend on the US for creativity and innovation, like everyone else does
