Fall 2005 Symposium on the “Social Costs of Inadequate Education”
October 24th and 25th at Alfred Lerner Hall, Columbia University
On October 24 and 25, 2005 Teachers College will sponsor a two-day symposium on the “Social Costs of Inadequate Education.” The symposium is part of the College's broader mission of working to close the nation's gap in educational equity – the growing difference in educational expectations, opportunities and outcomes that separates wealthier students from their poorer, chiefly non-white peers. Teachers College was founded more than a century ago to improve the education of New York City 's poor. The current focus on equity reinforces the founding mission of the College and draws upon the extensive teaching, research, and service of faculty in behalf of improving educational equity.
