The Crucial Links Between Education and Economic Success – Education Policy Expert Andreas Schleicher and Leading Economist Stefan Dercon discuss with CMRubinWorld
New York, NY (PRWEB) January 20, 2015 -- As the marketplace expands to be more inclusive, global and robust, all eyes are pointed to education systems as a crucial platform to prepare citizens to meet the demands of a changed world. But how key is education to a country’s economic success?
Two of the sharpest minds in the changing face of education, Andreas Schleicher and Stefan Dercon, tell global education publisher CMRubinWorld why education is of the utmost importance, not merely to a country’s economy but also to it’s political diversity.
“Collaborate, compete, and connect,” these are the key skills that education has to develop, according to Schleicher.
These three skills will clearly advance an informed citizenship made up of people who can participate effectively in national political debate and global economic exchange. But these skills, in isolation, are not enough. Stefan adds, “The arts remain an important means to express ideas and concepts for all cultures… Imagination and clarity of expression are hard to teach – but even in the poorest societies, it remains important to foster these to deal with and make sense of fast changing economies and societies.”
