The Princeton Club of Hong Kong (PCHK) and Teach for China (TFC) are pleased that Andrea Pasinetti, CEO of Teach for China, will host a talk for Ivy League & MIT alumni.
In 2008, during a year of study at Tsinghua University, Andrea traveled to seven provinces in an effort to understand the contours of educational inequity in China. During his travels he spent time in more than 300 schools, talking to students, teachers, principals and education officials. Moved by the magnitude of the problem, Andrea founded TFC to aid in China’s ongoing effort to bring quality educational resources to all children, irrespective of where they are born.
Andrea studied at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton, where he focused on education in Chinese rural reform policies. In 2011, Andrea was recognised as “The Most Influential Foreign Citizen Residing in China” by China Newsweek Magazine.
We very much look forward to this event and hope to see you there.
Date: Thursday 13 Feb
