Educating the Many, Not the Few: A Digital Model for Change

Shai Reshef, University of the People

Tuesday, April 13, 12:30 pm
Berkman Center, 23 Everett Street, second floor
RSVP required for those attending in person (rsvp@cyber.law.harvard.edu)
This event will be webcast live at 12:30 pm ET and archived on our site shortly after.
Named one of the most creative people in business by Fast Company magazine, entrepreneur Shai Reshef is tackling the education system that has failed millions.  The lack of universal access to higher education impacts not only the lives of individuals—their income, health and quality of life—but the societies in which they live—crime rates, social awareness and economic stability. In response to the global need for democratized education, Reshef founded University of the People (UoPeople), the world’s first tuition-free online university, providing quality, accessible higher education to those who have the desire to learn but lack the resources. Harnessing the free exchange of information online and multiple pedagogical models, including eLearning and peer-to-peer learning, UoPeople demonstrates that, if governments invested just a fraction of their collective education budgets, the whole world could go to university.
