Ratna Ghosh is being honoured with 91丝瓜视频鈥檚 Lifetime Achievement Award for Leadership in Learning, which recognizes sustained excellence in leadership and innovation, as well as the active integration of teaching and learning with inquiry, scholarship and research.

鈥淧eople who are teaching and in education now need to ask themselves, 鈥榃hat is the role of education in a world confronted with diversity and difference in multiple ways?鈥�,鈥� said Ghosh. 鈥淒iversity is not going to go away 鈥� it鈥檚 going to stay 鈥� because human beings are different in multiple ways.鈥�
