Mathematics Education at the End of the World
Abstract
In democratic societies, education is said to operate as a meritocratic equalizer, granting upward social mobility to those willing to work hard and develop their talents. In the 21st century, however, such mobility has decreased across the globe, particularly in countries with greater economic inequality. As a result, education’s promise to enable a better life has become ever more tenuous.
