兩年半年前, 靈感來自一群年輕的國際學生關心自己的21世紀教育的針對性，以今天的世界, 我已開始 全球搜索教育.
I believe it takes a global community to bring about meaningful change. My goal was to question the conventional wisdom of traditional education systems. It was my hope that 全球搜索教育 主動將激勵教育思想領袖參與全球對話，以確定全球教育體系的利益可持續的解決方案為我們的共同問題.
建橋現有的教育體系，我們的21世紀世界的涉案收集過的觀點 100 全球思想領袖結束 30 在教育背景的國家, business and government. To date in 全球搜索教育 系列, 我們已經出版了 170 這些訪談 (可在赫芬頓郵報，現在也可在www.cmrubinworld.com。) 在這些Q和A的謊言靈感的種子創建一個新的和改進的藍圖教育的未來.
我相信我們現在正處在一個轉折點教育, 政治家和私營部門別無選擇，只能保證相關, quality education is available for all. Just look at the timing. The profound technological changes disrupting our world have created strategic concerns for all parties. Studies have shown that the business sector faces hiring frustrations when trying to find young talent with the right skills to support their new commercial initiatives. The irony of these hiring frustrations is that there are young adults urgently looking for jobs who appear to be currently unemployable. Since governments continue to be judged on whether unemployment rises or falls, 和首席執行官都必須青壯年更好的技能, everything points to the need for both to invest in education. Educators too need to stay on top of their relevance. The value of an education will continue to be judged on its ability to ensure graduates can secure good jobs and foster a better quality of life. At the other end of the scale, 775 萬成年人在全球仍缺乏基本的閱讀和寫作能力; 以上 122 million are young people. 57 million children in emerging markets are currently without any form of education. We know that education remains the most powerful tool for ending global poverty and ensuring long-term sustainable quality of life and economic progress. 它會影響現代社會的方方面面.
我們正在取得進展. 在謝赫·穆罕默德·本·拉希德的惠顧, 總理阿聯酋和迪拜的統治者, 以上 850 世界各國領導人, 企業領導, 政府部長, 教育專家, 包括比爾·克林頓和布萊爾, 聚集在迪拜, 阿聯酋過去的這個週末，第二屆年度全球教育與技能論壇 (GESF) to continue to raise awareness for these crucial issues. The Forum, 聯合國教科文組織聯合舉辦, 英聯邦商業理事會, 阿聯酋政府和教育GEMS, 探索的方式來創建可擴展的改變教育系統在全球和地方各級, including effective ways to engage public and private partnerships. 另外, 小組成員討論的機會和顛覆性技術的挑戰, 技術和職業教育, and equity in education. While it was inspiring to hear Bill Clinton and Tony Blair deliver thoughtful insights on how to improve education, 在三天的活動對我來說真正的明星是誰在開幕之夜聯歡晚會執行兒童, 提醒我們，他們每個人都有一個夢想. 更重要的是, 我們每個人都必須發揮自己的作用，幫助他們正確的工具和機會，以實現這些夢想需要他們的地方在社會.
Global educational challenges need to be addressed in the context of country and/or region and additionally be respectful of cultural influences. 然而, 如果研究世界各地領先的教育系統, one can learn how they got there and additionally note the commonalities in how they approach learning. In the United States for example, 我們終於開始重視. 經過十多年的測試驅動, 高風險的責任, 許多教育工作者和決策者正在尋求向更周到的移動方式為未來. 最近的一項改革，轉變為以共同核心國家標準 (CCSS). This has paved the way for other improvements, 其中一家專注於新的評估.
全球教育與技能 2014 Forum stimulated good debate and engagement by its participants on all the major issues. The end of a good forum is always the beginning of a new conversation. As I travelled back to the US, 許多問題浮現在腦海:
1. 我們可以做的一切，以提高教師的價值在每一個教室裡，讓我們創建相同身材的教師隊伍為龍頭的教育系統，如新加坡, 韓國和芬蘭? Credit for this question goes to the Chairman of GEMS, 陽光明媚的VARKEY, who discussed his hopes to raise the status of teachers by launching the Varkey GEMS Foundation Global Teacher Prize, and to Bill Clinton for his comments on the US study which found that having one good teacher for only one year can have a dramatic impact on a student for a lifetime.
2. What more can we do to ensure that both the academic pathway and the vocational pathway are treated with equal respect as they are in leading education systems? Why is an education in the US tied to industry considered second rate or the alternative for less fortunate students? This stigma does not exist in other leading education systems. Credit for this question goes to Andreas Schleicher’s comments on the successful Swedish system of higher vocational education, in which private training providers bid (alongside public training providers) for contracts to deliver post-secondary vocational training. The relatively open market is balanced by demanding quality assurance, and by the requirement that training providers partner with local employers to offer work-based learning as part of the program (this being a condition of receiving funding).
3. Is there a way to engage parents in these forums? Aren’t parents also partners in the education journey? Do we think we can bring about dramatic education reform without first, educating parents and second, ensuring they will sign on to new initiatives? Credit to this question goes to Tony Blair who inspired me to “think like a parent and not like a politician!”
4. Is it possible to create a global common core – one that establishes consistent education standards across the world and ensures that students graduating from secondary education are ready to enter academic or vocational pathways?
5. What can be done to put more focus on STEAM (STEM plus Art) in education systems? 許多研究表明，藝術教育培養學生’ 創造力和解決問題的能力, attributes that are crucial for success in almost any field in a 21st century world. Let’s not forget the legacy of the great Steve Jobs.
6. 有什麼可以做，以更好地解決情感幸福的孩子們今天給出的崛起競爭，實現壓力?
7. What is the range of jobs that will be affected by the technology revolution? What can we learn from this and what actions are needed?

After a presentation I made last year, a successful businessman discussed with me his frustrations in finding qualified young adults to hire for his growing global empire. “What are you looking for?” 我問. “字符!” was his response. Beyond test scores and academic degrees, he placed significant importance on finding young adults with integrity, 同情, morals, 適應性, curiosity and a passion to learn, lead and collaborate. Credit for this comment goes to my friends, Howard Gardner and Pasi Sahlberg – gentlemen, I think you are on to something.
作為取得巨大成功的全球教育與技能論壇的組織者 2014 拆除面板，並開始思考 2015 事件, I hope some of these thoughts will inspire. There is so much work to do. 畢竟, 指定一名社會, 政治, economic or environmental issue that the world faces today and I guarantee you can quickly find an education angle. What could be more important than getting it right?
