Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Studies from Barbados, Ghana, New Zealand, and the U.S. address the perennial global issue of inequalities in education, present evidence on how each education system has been trying to provide equal education for all under their unique social, political, economic and educational systems, and share their successful stories and lessons. The multi-country conversation on the global phenomenon encourages and inspires its audience to look beyond the familiarity for ideas in disrupting the cycle of unequal education.
