EP 09 Bruce Ferguson, Human Rights during Covid-19 Pandemic Shaping A Fairer World
-
- Education
Bruce Ferguson has a unique point of reference having grown up in northern India for 10 years in the 1960s. He then returned in 2005 to spend the next 15 years in voluntary service to work on raising educational standards and human rights education and awareness of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights through all of South Asia. He still helps various projects and mentors selected youth-run programs.
Bruce is passionate and involved in addressing problems of inadequate education, educational reform, and human trafficking and address these through raising funding for allied groups making a change. He founded Reform Through Education (formerly FHFI) (www.ReformThroughEducation.org) in 2010 to forward this purpose. Reform Through Education is the new name for what he started a few years ago. Every problem in the world can be solved through education. It is the quality and availability that education which defines the outcome. There must be a basic level of "human understanding" which we find is achieved through human rights education through the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. And, education itself must deliver an outcome of the student being able to use and apply that which he or she was taught. These initiatives though simple, can themselves make the changes we wish to see in this world. Join him on this journey!
