इतिहास में जहां पहला स्कूल खोलने का श्रेय ज्योतिबा फुले को दिया जाता है तो पहली शिक्षिका में नाम सावित्री बाई फुले और उनकी सहयोगी फ़ातिमा शेख़ को भी याद किया जाता है. फ़ातिमा शेख़ ने तकरीबन 175 साल पहले समाज के सबसे दबे-कुचले लोगों और ख़ासकर स्त्रियों की तालीम के लिए सावित्री बाई फुले के साथ कंधे से कंधा मिलाकर काम किया. एक जनवरी सन् 1848 में पुणे के बुधवार पेठ में जब पहला स्कूल खोला गया तो सावित्री बाई के साथ फ़ातिमा शेख़ भी वहाँ पढ़ाती थीं हालांकि फ़ातिमा शेख़ के बारे में लोग कम ही जानते हैं.

Economist Joseph Stiglitz on How War, COVID & Climate Crisis Cause Economic Crises Around the World https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idZO6mfqz3Q Democracy Now!  Mar 7, 2023  As the U.N. secretary-general blasts wealthy nations for rigging the global economy for their benefit, we speak with economist Joseph Stiglitz about how war, the pandemic and the climate emergency are causing economic crises across the globe. He also says interest rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve are making things worse for the Global South, as the cost of borrowing rises for many countries already struggling with debt. His latest book is titled _People, Power, and Profits: Progressive Capitalism for an Age of Discontent_. Professor Stiglitz joins us on Democracy Now! to discuss the current global economy.

full text of interview

the crisis is being made worse by monetary policies.. cause supply side crisis due to covid, war etc,,but raising interest rates is not the solution which will make them worse.. worsening the debt crisis.. 

I think not only do we have to be blunt about the violations of human rights and democracy, we have to call out some of the policies that have had devastating effects on developing countries. China has lent money to many countries without appropriately assessing the returns in that money. Sometimes there are allegations of corruption. But when countries have had problems, there has been a reluctance to restructure debt.

I’ve often written that inequality, poverty is a matter of choice, not of the people themselves but of our policy frameworks that lead to the levels of inequality. A wonderful example of that was the ability of the Biden administration, by the acts it took in responding to the pandemic, to reduce childhood poverty by an estimated 40, 50% in one year. We could have done it at any time in the past. We could have adopted the policies, which had this enormous effect on child poverty.
