Listen in to find out!&nbsp;</p> <p>Professor Eric A. Hanushek is a globally recognized leader in the economics of education. His work has given us the international standard for measuring how teachers &amp; schools perform. And it’s shaped the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) by including learning outcomes as a target. That’s because he has demonstrated that it’s how much students learn—&amp; not how many years they spend in school—that boosts economies.</p> <p>Mr&nbsp;Edward Ma works closely with&nbsp;the Board, Advisory Committee &amp; Judging Committee to design &amp; implement strategic plans that will lead the Yidan Prize Foundation to accomplish its mission—creating a better world through education.</p> <p>Thank YOU so much for tuning in.
