Why is Global Education Important?

Tony Jackson of Asia Society sums it up nicely:

*****

The world for which we are preparing our youth is qualitatively different from the industrial world in which our public school systems were created.                                                 -Howard Gardner, Five Minds for the Future.

Consider the changing global labor force...

Jobs that involve routinized tasks or scripted responses are being done by computers or workers in the developing world—with little training and at a very low cost.

​

Jobs that demand expert thinking, complex communication, and the ability to synthesize different types of information creatively will remain in growing demand the world over.

​

International competition will prevail. Employers are looking for competent, reliable individuals who will work at an attractive cost—regardless of location.
