Professor Ginsburg

Professor Urquiola

We had a very interesting conversation with Professor Urquiola and Professor Ginsburg about the role of education in development and in overcoming inequality. Professor Urquiola presented an approach from an economics perspective and discussed how the design of an educational system influences the way in which inequality is passed down (or not passed down) from one generation to the next. Professor Ginsburg challenged us to think about education from a human rights perspective and offered an alternative set of "rules" that could be used to redefine the way citizens are educated.
