Education has always been viewed as a central institution for meritocracy, equalizing opportunities. Yet, there has been growing signs that education is a weakening force for social mobility, and may in fact contribute to social stratification.

Join us, for a time of discussion with a panel of professionals as we explore whether education still remains effective as a social leveler.
