WHAT DOES EDUCATION MEAN TO YOU?
On International Day of Education, we asked UCL School of Management staff, students and alumni what ‘education’ means to them and why they believe it is so important.
“Education is the only defense we have against demagogues, fake news, and echo-chambers gradually pushing us into a dystopian reality”
Davide Ravasi, Director of the PhD Programme
“Education, while being enjoyable, helps us broaden our horizons by equipping us with the knowledge necessary to better understand our surroundings as well as succeed in today’s world.”
Nada Abi, 3rd Year BSc Management Science student
“In my opinion, education is the single most important key to prosperity and a better future. By celebrating this important event today, it will hopefully grasp more attention with the ultimate goal to make education accessible to everyone on this planet.”

“As a researcher of social innovation, I know that education is key. I am convinced that sustainable social change needs to come from within individuals: mindsets need to be re-wired and hearts opened. To me, education that touches the heart is one of the most effective ways to create new paths of thinking. I’ve seen this work over and over again – whether in organisations fighting child marriage in rural Indonesia or companies trying to make people care about climate change. The start of social innovation often is education that touches the heart.”
