For most of us, the idea that education is a social good is something we hardly think about and much less doubt. Not so for Ekta Sodha. In her talk, she’ll try to convince us that, at least in rural India, market solutions yield better results than government education programmes. It is young, energetic entrepreneurs like her, she argues, who can transform the education system by competing against one another with their innovative business models and not only make education affordable to low-income families in fishing villages, rural communities and market towns, but also improve educational quality, while adding billions to the economy in the process.
