Minimally Invasive Education
Minimally Invasive Education (MIE) is an educational philosophy and methodology that emphasizes self-directed learning, curiosity-driven exploration, and minimal direct intervention from instructors. Instead of rigidly structured, teacher-led lessons, MIE creates rich, well-designed learning environments where students can explore knowledge, solve problems, and develop critical skills independently or collaboratively. This approach was pioneered by Sugata Mitra who demonstrated that when children are provided with access to computers, resources, and peer collaboration, they can teach themselves complex subjects with little or no formal instruction.

Notes
Core Principles of Minimally Invasive Education
- Self-Directed Learning – Students discover, explore, and construct knowledge based on their interests and intrinsic motivation.
Exploration Over Instruction – Instead of spoon-fed lessons, students are given resources, tools, and real-world problems to navigate on their own.
- Collaborative Discovery – Learning happens organically through peer interaction and knowledge-sharing, often without direct teacher intervention.
- Adaptive & Dynamic – The process is fluid, allowing for creativity, experimentation, and personal learning paths.
Technology-Assisted Learning – Digital tools (like AI, the internet, and interactive resources) provide access to knowledge without requiring constant teacher oversight.
