Overview
Connectivity, content, community; these are the buzzwords of the new global
education landscape.
Today, social, technological, and economic drivers are transforming education
systems around the world. As the Internet brings individuals, cultures
and nations together in unprecedented ways, matters of education reform
are pushed center-stage. As local economies turn global, the development
of a technologically skilled workforce becomes a worldwide concern; and
as human capital becomes the chief source of economic value, education
and training become lifelong endeavors for the majority of workers.
A key to success in the knowledge economy is
a trained labour force. It is not surprising that so many countries have
focused on improving their education systems. All of this is commendable.
