Session Three | Business Leaders & FWE’s Young Leaders: How do we finance the future of education and align resources with needs?
Time September 15th 9:30 am EDT (UTC-4)
The economic crisis following the pandemic will push policy-makers to think harder about how to invest limited resources best, and how to strike a balance between resourcing the present and securing the future. Inevitably, this will mean reconciling the needs of people by demographics, geography and social background. At the same time, the world shows huge differences in the educational outcomes achieved per dollar invested. What can we learn about making educational investment more effective? How can we mobilize the resources that are needed?

Doctorate Candidate, University Of Cambridge, Ghana
Alice Amegah is a dynamic young Ghanaian lady. She is passionate about Employer Engagement in Education, Skills Development and Inequalities in STEM and TVET. She is a 2016 summa cum laude graduate for the Department of Psychology at the University of Ghana, where she obtained a B.A. in Psychology. She received the Cadbury Price for the Overall Best Graduating Student in Psychology, the Elizabeth Ardayfio-Schandorf Award for Most Outstanding Graduating Student and the Irene Odotei Award for Overall Best Graduating Student in Humanities.
Afterwards, she worked as an adolescent health counsellor and teacher before pursuing an MSc in Comparative and International Education at the University of Oxford. At Oxford, her research focused on ‘How and Why Employers Engaged with TVET institutions in Ghana’ and received a distinction for her dissertation. In addition to her efforts to understand and contribute to Employer Engagement in Education, Alice interns as a research officer at Education and Employers; an education charity in London that uses technology and research to bring employers from different careers into public schools in England to raise students’ aspirations. She is currently studying towards a PhD in Education at the University of Cambridge. Her PhD research aims to utilise the capability approach as a conceptual framework to understand the life experiences of young women in STEM-TVET in Ghana. As a pragmatist, she believes her research findings should impact quality and equal education, especially for disadvantaged girls. Alice continues to engage policymakers in Ghana to bring about the change she envisions.
