Dinner with Teach for China Founder Andrea Pasinetti '08

It's a great honor for us to welcome Andrea Pasinetti '08, Founder & CEO of Teach for China, to give a talk to PAABJ this Thursday. More details about the event can be found below.

Andrea studied at the Woodrow Wilson School, where he focused on education in Chinese rural reform policies and the New Socialist Countryside Campaign. As an undergraduate, Andrea served as a director of Princeton University's Interact Program, engaging his peers in an effort to afford underprivileged high-school students in the Trenton City area a quality education.

In 2008, during a year of study at Tsinghua University’s Inter-University Program, Andrea traveled to seven provinces in an effort to understand the contours of educational inequity in China. During his travels he spent time in more than 300 schools, talking to students, teachers, principals and education officials. Moved by the magnitude of the problem, Andrea founded Teach For China to aid in China's ongoing effort to bring quality educational resources to all children, irrespective of where they are born. After recruiting Hu Tingting and Rachel Wasser to the effort, he launched the organization in July 2009.

In 2011 Andrea was recognized as the most influential foreign citizen residing in China by China Newsweek Magazine.
