Encore: Technology and Education: Empowering Youth Worldwide

The buzz: School days.All children start with the same passions, imagination, and desire to learn. But according to UNESCO’s Education for All Global Monitoring Report, “Ensuring that all children access upper secondary education by 2030 will remain beyond the grasp of the international community unless priorities are re-considered.” Is it just the responsibility of parents, governments and schools, or the private sector, too? Are enough jobs ready for youth who get an education? The experts speak. Karim Ramji, Deloitte: “Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world” (Nelson Mandela). Oisin Walton, Vodaphone: “It's no longer a question of technology, it's a question of imagination” (Jean-Francois Cazenave). Alicia Lenze, SAP: “Technology alone is not enough. It's technology married with liberal arts, married with the humanities, that yields us the results that make our hearts sing” (Steve jobs).
