Read the new Illuster - november 2024
Illuster is Utrecht University's alumni magazine and features the university, its alumni, students and staff in interviews, articles and background stories.
The right to education
In this issue of Illuster, we explore the right to education. Around the world, 293 million children are out of school. And yet, as Henk Kummeling, rector magnificus of our university, notes, "education is the key to escaping poverty, controlling overpopulation, and combating conflicts and wars." For this special edition of Illuster, dedicated to the theme of the Right to Education, he shares his thoughts in a column on the back cover.
Also featured: an interview with alum Doryne Hennipman, who studied at Utrecht University in the 1950s; insights from Beorn Nijenhuis on balancing top-level sports with science; and a piece of advice from NRC journalist Niki Korteweg: "Students, stop using social media if it makes you restless." Don’t miss the double interview on the classroom experiences of teachers Sabine and Mustapha, along with geography teacher Tim Schuring’s passionate message on the power of knowledge.
And, as always, enjoy plenty of recommendations for interesting events, books, and podcasts. Enjoy!
