The document discusses the state of education in Haiti following the 2010 earthquake. It notes that access to education was already low prior to the disaster, with public spending on education being very low and private spending among the highest in the world. After the earthquake, 85% of schools were destroyed or damaged. The rector of Université Quisqueya discusses their response, which included mobilizing faculty and students as volunteers, establishing a field hospital on campus, and deploying mobile clinics. They experimented with informal, street-level learning and questioned traditional university models. The talk addresses challenges around rebuilding infrastructure, governance, and connecting higher education to other sectors in a sustainable way.
