A quality education can create better outcomes for people across a variety of dimensions. Still, from parents teaching their young children the basics of math, to school age children moving to a new neighborhood for a chance at better schools, to young adults trying to decide whether they can afford to attend college, access to education remains elusive for many. Join Professor Ariel Kalil; Arne Duncan, former US Secretary of Education; and Martin V. Torres, MPP'09, CLA'17, Deputy Governor for Education in Illinois, for a discussion with award-winning author and journalist Natalie Y. Moore, CEG Democracy Fellow'21, on how to provide high quality education for more people in the United States.
