How to change a country’s educational system from within? How do we implement trust within the learning institutions? And If schools set a basis for the future society and job market, which way should we be going?

For our next Learning Inspired conversation, Rosan Bosch will meet with Mercedes Miguel, former Secretary of the Ministry of Education in Argentina, to talk about transforming educational systems. Through her career, Mercedes Miguel advocates for experiential and meaningful learning for all and will share her experience on creating national wide impact through school reforms.
