7- Cody Abbey on Lessons from China's Rural Education Work (part one)
"If you can't bring educational resources to the rural kids physically there's got to be some other way, and that's when education technology (Ed Tech) comes in because if you can get it to them virtually and have a local teacher trained to implement it, then there's a chance that it can be effective." ~ Cody Abbey
I believe this is an extremely important conversation with Cody Abbey from the Rural Education Action Program (REAP) on the #EcoFlowPodcast. In this first half of the interview, Cody and I discussed his work in REAP and why Ed Tech is important in rural China's education as well as for the rest of the world. Stay tuned for the second half of the interview in which we discuss whether the current Ed Tech is narrowing or widening the gap between the rich and the poor, what's he's learned from REAP so far as well as his advice for parents during this pandemic lockdown. The video interview can be found on my Youtube Channel (Eco Flow with Sherab Jin).
Cody's Biography:
Cody Abbey is a project manager at the Rural Education Action Program, which is a collaborative research organization by Stanford University that aims to narrow the urban-rural gap in China by identifying and solving rural China’s education and health problems. Before REAP he was part of the inaugural class of the Yenching Academy at Peking University and completed his bachelor’s degree in public policy at Princeton University.
