EVENT DETAILS
<P>Education presents one of the most pressing socioeconomic challenges today, with 100 million children (ages 6-11) never having attended school, tens of millions of dropouts, 800 million illiterate adults, and major gaps in lifelong skills and training in both emerging and developed markets. The role of education in promoting economic growth and social justice has long been recognized, and its benefits are well documented across a range of sectors, from health to democracy and political stability. Please join us for a discussion on the current landscape of impact investing in education.</P>
