LISTEN HERE:
Here, we interview Yasmin Bhatia, the CEO of Uplift Education, a charter school network based in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
We talk about Bhatia’s past with McKinsey and Company, and how that type of work compares with running a charter network — then about the argument that charter schools are nothing more than an effort to de-fund public education. In the middle, we also discuss how you build a school network for the future (i.e. new campuses) while also maintaining a focus on the present (i.e. student achievement).
It’s an interesting talk, and I think you’d enjoy it even if you’re not linked to the world of education.
