ABOUT THE HOOVER INSTITUTION EDUCATION SUMMIT
The Hoover Institution Education Summit features discussions with scholars, educators, activists, and other experts about the formulation and advancement of policies aimed at improving outcomes for American K–12 students. The idea for an education summit was conceptualized by Condoleezza Rice, who, since taking leadership of the Hoover Institution in 2020, has stressed the importance of quality education opportunities, especially in helping disadvantaged and minority youth overcome discrimination and achieve true social, political, and economic equality. The summit was organized by Macke Raymond, Hoover’s distinguished research fellow and founder and director of Stanford University’s Center for Research on Education Outcomes (CREDO).
