Hitmaker Sean Combs, aka Diddy, has revealed that he wants to build schools around the world to help make good education accessible to as many youngsters as possible. 

During a new interview with U.S. breakfast show Today, he explained that opening the Capital Preparatory Harlem Charter School in Harlem, New York inspired him to continue on with the project: "It's always been a dream of mine to come back home and open a school, I've just always had that vision in my head."

"I knew that I was able to achieve to the heights that I was able to achieve (sic) because I started out and had a very good education, and I think we just take that for granted. Also, we're not dealing with the issues that we're not properly educating our children, especially in inner cities."

He added: "So instead of complaining about it, I wanted to do something about it, so I opened up my own school and I'm just gonna lead by example and try to make the change that way. It's a beautiful thing. I also wanna expand schools into different cities and countries."
