In her bold and passionate talk, Dr. Milan-Devi Labrey delivers an open letter to the education system, challenging it to evolve beyond outdated, factory-style classrooms built for obedience instead of curiosity. Drawing on her global teaching experience, she exposes how rigid rules, excessive testing, and emotional neglect are harming students and teachers alike.She argues that true education must go beyond grades and compliance, it must nurture empathy, values, and emotional intelligence. Through powerful stories, Dr. Milan calls for a new soul operating procedure built on love, truth, peace, right conduct, and non-violence, values that help children grow into awake, ethical human beings. Her message: education was never meant to inform, it was meant to transform. Dr. Milan LaBrey is an international speaker, author, and professor of psychology who has taught every age from preschool to university in classrooms worldwide. She is the founder of the TAEI Academy and the visionary behind the Soul Operating Procedure, a global movement to bring values-based learning into education systems. As the G100 Global Chair for Values & Volunteerism, she leads conversations that challenge the status quo and ignite actionable change. Her work blends deep emotional intelligence with raw truth and unfiltered humanity. She's not here to inspire; she’s here to catalyse.
