Mind the Gap | Miguel Herdade | TEDxNoVA
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 жов 2024
- Miguel addresses in his speech that students from disadvantaged backgrounds face barriers that result in decreased academic achievement. They have less incentive to study (instead of working to help their households), find it harder to access to study materials (such as books or tech resources), and benefit from less parental support. Miguel Herdade works exclusively for non-profits around public policy, strategy and philanthropy - his main areas of interest are educational disadvantage and social integration. He currently works at Ambition Institute in the UK. He is also a Governor in a primary school in London and a Director at Orquestra Sem Fronteiras in Portugal and Spain.
As if it wasn’t interesting enough, he is a former member of faculty at Nova SBE - School of Business and Economics. Together with his former colleagues at Nova he has recently published important studies about child poverty and education recovery plans during Covid-19. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
His insights into the challenges that disadvantaged students face are eye-opening.
he's doing his part to make sure everyone has access to it.
impressed with his multi-dimensional approach to tackling educational disparities.
looking forward to reading more of his research into child poverty and how education recovery plans can help.
Delightful, just love the easy-going way this speaker talks about poverty AND to put a Raj Chetty (Friedman as well obvs) paper on teachers impact in perspective! Interesting intersection beetween academia/economics and a TED
inspired by his work with non-profits that focus on public policies and education.
Locking down schools was a huge mistake.
We essentially declared that some lives are more important than the future of many others. It put in jeopardy our future...
