"THE FUNCTION OF EDUCATION IS TO TEACH ONE TO THINK INTENSIVELY AND TO THINK CRITICALLY. INTELLIGENCE PLUS CHARACTER - THAT IS THE GOAL OF TRUE EDUCATION. "

-Martin Luther King, Jr.

Gideon Kariuki

My name is Gideon and I'm currently a third-year public service and public policy student, and a member of Cohort 5 of the NGSC. I also serve as the Program Director of the only student-run radio station at ASU, Blaze Radio.

I am passionate about education policy because I firsthand have seen the benefits of a good education from my own life and that of my relatives. Also as a public policy major and a member of this mission team, I have further learned how education policy shapes education at all levels.
