The Peterson Lecture given by His Highness the Aga Khan was perhaps his most thought provoking public speech given during this Golden Jubilee visit. It perhaps ranks as one of the best articulated speech on the importance of education in contemporary times, the role of schools in cultivating the global citizen and the delicate balance between globalism and tribalism. His Highness has quoted the Quran and the relevance of its message in contemporary times, more frequently than in any speech given in the Western context in recent years. In his address, he gives a very eloquent rational for the vision of the Aga Khan Academies program and the choice of its curriculum.

Always superb work.
Keep it up.
With prayers.
