Yesterday I realized that a large portion of my friends -and these are people I interact with on almost a daily basis, not distant acquaintances-are to be found doing something in the field of education.
J is part of a start-up creating ITES solutions for schools, colleges and the government.[Link]
R is repairing OLPC laptops in a small school in Nasik. [Link]
H is a Research Associate in Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab which does impact evaluations on education and other sectors. [Link]
and,
N is a fellow at Teach for India, managing an exceptionally 'energetic' 3rd grade. [Link]
If you had met these people not too long ago they were respectively a computer science student, an electrical engineer, an oil & gas field engineer and a fashion designer.
Is it happening to you and people around you too?
