How School Made Us Competitors Instead of Collaborators

Let’s be honest school didn’t really teach us to work together. It taught us to fight for positions, win prizes, and protect our work like state secrets. Group work? Just one person doing the work while the rest “collaborate” in spirit. Sound familiar?

In this eye-opening episode, we break down how the African school system built a competition-first mindset that’s now affecting how we do business, build teams, and trust each other. From reflections at Marist Brothers Nyanga to lessons from St George’s College, we explore how real collaboration starts when we unlearn the classroom rivalries.

If you're tired of the “each man for himself” mentality and want to see a united Africa rising through partnership and shared growth this episode is for you.
