Equity in Education

Operating in 12 countries, Girl Rising uses the power of storytelling to change the way the world values girls and their education. I spoke recently with their India chapter’s Nidhi Shukla to learn about the organization’s journey prior to and during COVID-19, their proudest accomplishments, and how all of this has implications for digital equity.

This podcast is part of the Education & Society Program’s initiative to encourage education leaders to think critically about the role of the principal and what it means to be a school leader for racial equity.

As education leaders we must work across lines of race, political party, and every other divide to position public education as a bulwark of democracy and an engine of equity.
