#160 - Geographic Lotteries of Learning

What's in this episode?

Hello everyone! 

Thank you for being patient as we took a break over the Summer and prepared for our next season.    This week we throwback to a second recording from this year’s WISE Summit in Paris. In this episode you’ll hear from two speakers on the topic of the future of learning;    Heidi Harju-Luukkainen, Professor, Nord University  Angel Investor, Khaled Helioui    We look at the impact of genetic disposition and geographic lotteries on learning, on the double edged sword of international rankings and the problem with coercion as the basis of learning. We explore how to measure impact without creating norms and exclusivity. 

Stay in touch and have a great week!
