SCHOOLS OUT FOR COVID! – Fighting The New Education Inequality Crisis, with Dr. Prachi Srivastava and Linda Oduor-Noah

COVID-19 has pushed over a billion kids out of school. What must
we do right now to ensure this isn’t a “lost generation”? How
does inequality affect access to education? And why do private
schools present such a challenge to quality education in
developing countries? To show us what needs to be done, we’re
joined in this episode by the inimitable Dr. Prachi Srivastava –
Associate Professor at the University of Western Ontario, whose
fascinating research digs deep on inequality, and the global
education crisis caused by COVID-19. We’re also thrilled to have
with us Linda Oduor-Noah, a brilliant education activist based in
Kenya, fighting the privatization of education and advancing the
right to education for all. 


This is episode 4 of the EQUALS podcast Season 3 – and if you’re
joining us for the first time, tune in to our earlier interviews
