Henry

Some people have full access to education, and some do not. Henry, a student from Durham University, discussed education inequality and the differences between types of schools both in the UK and Hong Kong. Having previously studied at Renaissance College in Hong Kong, Henry went through training to teach Maths, Geography, and English to students in Nepal. His community services showed him the divide between his experience in school and those of the Nepalese students. In that Nepalese school, basic commodities like WiFi had to be built too with the help of Henry’s class. Henry also participated in a fundraiser during university, where he raised funds to travel away from the university as far as possible to raise awareness and learn about education inequality. Henry continues to make a difference in education, and he is interested in addressing the societal needs of the educational system. Being passionate about education, Henry will go into the education field in the future.
