Universal access to high-quality and relevant education may be the most fundamental element of keeping the American Dream alive for millions across the world. Whether the question is access to affordable college, in-demand skills training, or safe and effective elementary schools, everyone deserves the chance to learn, grow and ultimately succeed.
One prerequisite to accessible education is the availability of talented, dedicated, and inspirational educators. In conjunction with the Milken Family Foundation and the Milken Educator Awards, the Center tells the story of great teachers, and works with researchers and policymakers to tackle the tough questions around education.
Lady Nicola Mendelsohn is doing her part to make the world smaller and more accessible. As Vice President of Facebook for Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, her mission is to help bring connectivity – and prosperity – to the developing world. So far, she is succeeding: The Daily Telegraph has called her "the most powerful woman in the British tech industry,” and Queen Elizabeth awarded her the honorific of Commander of the British Empire in 2015.
