Create an Active Student badge on Microsoft Learn

Today, a self-taught learner does not have access to the same educational resources as a student enrolled in school. This invisible inequality creates an unfair disadvantage and produces new discouragements. Yet Microsoft Learn can transform this inequality into a springboard, giving the invisible the same tools and the same dignity.

Where there is nothing — no support, no teaching — AI will never replace a human. But it can play a valuable role:

• Helping to understand a module by rephrasing or explaining it differently.
• Guiding learners toward the right resources when they don’t know where to start.
• Lighting a spark where there was only despair, by offering a first step, a first path, where before there was only emptiness.

History shows us that self-taught learners can go far. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Linus Torvalds, Kevin Mitnick, Margaret Hamilton… all learned on their own, often outside traditional frameworks, and changed the world.

But how many other self-taught learners never had that chance? How many talents remain invisible, excluded simply because they carry the label of “autodidact”?

Will we continue to refuse these talents, or will we give them the chance they deserve?

I am one of those who had to learn through trial and error. But I discovered that it is much easier to learn when, at the moment you are stuck, an AI can help you better understand.

If we use online educational tools to give everyone a chance, then we transform exclusion into dignity, and discouragement into a future.

hope my idea will inspire the leaders. Thank you for your support, and have a great day. Sincerely, Benoit
