30 People Under The Age Of 30 Hoping To Improve Education

30 People Under The Age Of 30 Hoping To Improve Education

By Katie Lepi

Every year, Forbes puts out a number of lists called the ’30 Under 30′ in multiple categories. These lists showcase what Forbes describes as “the young disruptors, innovators and entrepreneurs on our annual listing of the 30 under 30 are impatient to change the world.” The Forbes editors and reporters work with panels of judges, and choose what they determine to be each field’s  best representations of hard work, innovation, and intellectual best of the under-30 generation.
Once again, the 30 Under 30 Education category highlights some pretty awesome people doing really interesting stuff in the field of education. You can read the entire feature on the Forbes website, but we’ve summarized it a bit for you below. Keep reading to see what the movers and shakers of education have been up to over the past year.
