Earlier this summer, Anant Agarwal, Chief Platform Officer of 2U, Founder of edX, and Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT, sat down with Dmytro Zavgorodnii, Ukraine’s Deputy Minister of Education and Science for Digital Development, Digital Transformations, and Digitalization, to talk about the power of online education.

With the edX platform, we aim to help serve society's critical needs worldwide by bolstering and democratizing access to high-quality higher education. We’ve stood together with Ukraine since the onset of the conflict, working with over 40 relief partners to offer their students free access to our online courses and programs through edX Online Campus. 

You can also tune into the full conversation between Anant and Deputy Minister Zavgorodnii on YouTube to learn more about the work we’re doing together—and how the Ministry of Education is leveraging Open edX, the open-source technology platform for MOOCs, to ensure that as many learners as possible can continue their studies.
