The “Happy” singer and 13-time Grammy winner revealed his master plan in a press release in which he called out the current state of affairs regarding the school system.
"If the system is fixed and unfair, then it needs to be broken," Williams, 48, said in the release. "We don’t want lockstep learning where so many kids fall behind; we want bespoke learning designed for each child, where the things that make a child different are the same things that will make a child rise up and take flight." The Yellowhab group of schools – its name derived from the combination of Williams’ Yellow foundation and "hab" after the Mars habitat in the film, "The Martian" – will be tuition-free for at least the first year and the costs of attendance will be covered by philanthropic support, presumably via grants and donations.More Related News
