How can we work together to create a better future for education? Our 2021 laureate Professor Eric A. Hanushek and Secretary-General Edward Ma joined the EdUp Experience Podcast to discuss the value of education—and ideas to improve it.

They also touched on children’s learning losses due to school closures, the importance of higher education to a country’s economy, and Eric’s fellowship initiative in sub-Saharan Africa using his Yidan Prize project fund.

“Around the world, people now recognize how important education is. That recognition is important, but ideas of how to improve it are the next steps… We have to have a mechanism to sort through them, and to rigorously evaluate what’s important and what isn’t.”

—Professor Eric A. Hanushek
