Author James Tooley in Conversation with Clive Crook

The Harvard Club, New York City | February 11, 2010

Everyone from Bono to the United Nations is looking for a miracle to bring schooling within reach of the world's poorest children. James Tooley found one hiding in plain sight. While researching private schools in India for the World Bank, and worried that he was doing little to help the poor, Tooley wandered into the slums of Hyderabad's Old City. Shocked to find it overflowing with tiny, parent-funded schools filled with energized students, he set out to discover if schools like these could help achieve universal education.
