Recently, I attended the U.S Saudi business conference in Los Angeles. One of the key note speakers was Jay Bhatt, CEO of Blackboard. An inspiring orator, he discussed how education is a reflection of the workplace. However, the current education system is not reflecting the changes in the global community: "The world is changing and while there is a push for education reform there is not a change of global mindset.
One of speakers in the educational panel highlighted the need for progressive and evolving education, "It(the global market) is dynamic. It is not static. Then why are educators so static?"
Video and other videos from the conference can be found on vimeo HERE.
