Economist Karthik Muralidharan argues that smarter resource allocation in education, not increased spending, can improve global learning outcomes. He highlights evidence-based interventions like personalized learning software and remedial tutoring programs that offer 10x returns on investment.

Incredible video, TED. Looking forward to your next upload. I smashed that thumbs up button on your content. Keep up the fantastic work! Your insights on optimizing public spending for better educational outcomes are truly thought-provoking. How do you suggest we encourage governments to prioritize evidence-based interventions over traditional but ineffective spending?

When wise spending is considered “unintuitive” in a Ted Talk then rest assured that you live in the infleshment of the movie Idiocracy.

As a newbie investor, it’s essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable.
Kristine Lynn Weber is my trade analyst, she has guided me to identify key market trends, pinpointed strategic entry points, and provided risk assessments, ensuring my trades decisions align with market dynamics for optimal returns.

I don’t really blame people who panic. Lack of
information can be a big hurdle. I’ve been
making more than $200k passively by just
investing through an advisor, and I don’t have
to do much work. Inflation or no inflation, my
finances remain secure. So I really don’t blame
people who panic.

This is, hands down, the WORST take on education I’ve ever come across. 10 yrs of teaching, thought I’d heard most of it all now.

Generally, when you shutdown a person with a PhD, you give reasons why. Literally, educate the public on your logic. Otherwise, you look like someone who is a teacher’s aid pretending to be a teacher who wants 5 minutes of fame

As an educator, I feel like it’s important to note that many educators want to go back and fill in the holes and slow down the education for that child but every time I’ve seen an educator try, we get scolded by our administration and get told to stick to the curriculum and small group will pull them and fill in the holes. I completely agree that they shouldn’t be trying to learn multiplication when they can’t even count to 100, but that is not the educators fault. The system needs to focus on letting teachers do what teachers do best (differentiation) instead of trying to put every child into a one size fits all curriculum.
