CEO of Daraty has also been invited to join the closing panel discussion titled “Enabling a Generational Transformation” where she discussed what led the team to build Daraty and how education should evolve to empower the next generation.
“We want education to empower young people to create a lifelong learning opportunity with no restrictions around their educational experience, the best way to create this is by letting kids feel free to express themselves and do the work they like to do. Education needs to be designed so that it has high ceiling, low floor and wide walls.”
