Through taking scope of the state of education around the world today, Reva writes a call to action on behalf of students everywhere to engage and advocate for their education. She explains the power that students can have, individually, collectively, and universally on not only just their own education, but educational institutions, legislation, and society at large. Reva Gandhi is currently a junior at Parkland High School, working at the crossroads of STEM and public policy. Her passions lie in student advocacy and empowerment, working with the Pennsylvania State Board of Education and various other student organizations to elevate the unique perspective of students. An optimist at heart, she hopes to bring diversity, holistic thinking, and sustainability to not only educational institutions, but to society at large. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
