Redressing the Achievement Gap: Teach For China's work to bridge
disparities in Educational Provision in China

Teach for China (中国教育行动) is inspired by the vision that one day, all
Chinese children will have access to a quality education. It takes a
unique approach to eliminating educational inequity by recruiting,
training, and supporting outstanding US and Chinese graduates to work
side-by-side to deliver an excellent education in high poverty, rural
Chinese communities.

In this presentation Andrea Pasinetti, the founder of Teach for China
(中国教育行动) will cover:
- The extent and manifestation of disparities in educational provision
as they persist along socioeconomic lines in China;
- The challenge of affording all children access to a quality
education;
- Teach For China's model, strategy, and outcomes.
