Alum Nesrine Mbarek ('20) named one of four Schwarzman Scholars from Stanford University

Nesrine Mbarek graduated from Stanford in 2020 with a bachelor’s degree in history. She is interested in a career transforming education by reforming curricula, pedagogy, finance, and assessment, while empowering teachers and building resilience to crises. 

“Over the next two decades, my career trajectory will focus on refining my expertise and learning from nations like China, as well as engaging with networks such as the Schwarzman Scholars, to effectively address pressing educational challenges,” she said. 

Mbarek said the Schwarzman Scholars program will provide valuable insights and connections that will help her drive meaningful change in public policy. She ultimately intends to implement her education and training in her home country of Tunisia and spearhead transformative changes in its education system.
