Learning gains, not loss, drive education partnerships forward

A single episode featuring Khan Academy and AT&T shows how major institutions are reframing pandemic disruption as an opportunity to engineer measurable learning growth rather than merely recover.

The channel argues that the most effective education response to disruption centers on building learning gains rather than managing losses. Khan Academy Founder Sal Khan and AT&T Assistant Vice President of Corporate Social Responsibility Mylayna Albright demonstrate this thesis by showing how their organizations are collaborating to bring new educational content and solutions to students returning to campus, positioning growth as the strategic priority.
