Everyone has the right to learn. However, this right is not given to every child in the world equally. In this session, we will talk about some of the educational disparities found around the world, their contributing factors, and stories of successful programs that have helped address these disparities. We will also discuss things we can do to help reduce the educational disparities in our home countries.
