A Quote by Jim Yong Kim

Growing economies are critical; we will never be able to end poverty unless economies are growing. We also need to find ways of growing economies so that the growth creates good jobs, especially for young people, especially for women, especially for the poorest who have been excluded from the economic system.

The education system is the only reason the dream of equal opportunity has a chance of being delivered - and we're not running a good education system.
