Blogs about: Education

In 1966, the United Nation’s International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights declared that “education is the primary vehicle by which economically and socially marginalized adults and children can lift themselves out of poverty and obtain the means to participate fully in their communities.” That still rings so true, and yet, barriers remain. Even in developed nations,  a good education can be hard to find. But there’s also encouraging news on the horizon, and its name is technology, a realm where classrooms need not be physical spaces.
