DESCRIPTION:*An evening with one of Elon Musk's Global Learning XPRIZE win
 ners.*\n\nThere is a global crisis in education. One in six children is no
 t able to read\, write\, or do maths. The impact of illiteracy on a child\
 , their community and the global community is severe\, affecting health\, 
 social mobility and economic stability. As communication and daily life be
 comes more reliant on literacy and digital literacy\, these skills become 
 even more crucial for children to become equipped to be lifelong learners\
 , and future problem solvers. According to the UN\, we need 24.4 million m
 ore primary school teachers in order to achieve Sustainable Development Go
 al 4 – quality education for all – by 2030.\n\nAndrew will discuss how
  we – as a community of governments\, NGOs\, children\, communities\, te
 achers and parents – can do this\, as well as the red herrings\, archaic
  models and circumstantial barriers that risk preventing SDG4 from being a
 chieved.\n\nViable solutions for global education are here\, and we need t
 o implement them.\n\nAll welcome – free for CSAR members\, £2 for under
 graduates\, postgraduates and recent PhDs\, £5 for non-members.\n\n"Add t
