Prof. Justman in his forty-five minutes talk on ‘Economics of Education’ dealt with the research findings of his study on first generation and second-generation students in Israel. He showed that education and wealth of parents paved way for a significant advantage in educational attainments of second-generation students when compared to first generation students. However. the advantage is not significant when it comes to their earnings. A Q and A session followed afterwards in which students raised their questions and queries regarding the education system. A memento was presented to the chief guest by the Principal as a token of appreciation. The event concluded with a vote of thanks by Mr. Mahadevan M.S., Chairperson, SEED. View Poster View Brochure
