The business sector has tremendous potential for solving the many challenges of today's society. These challenges demand ingenuity and resolute effort to provoke and sustain progress while simultaneously preserving the integrity of community.
Business has a large stake in the future of education.
In a time of accelerating competition, continuous breakthroughs in technology and increased demands on people everywhere, companies realize that a well-prepared workforce is the best strategic advantage in the global economy. Currently, a growing number of more sophisticated partnerships have moved from simple community relations to collaborations that address improving, reforming, and even reinventing education at every level. Such partnerships are viewed as vital investments in a country's future that can energize and profit all partners. We must work in partnership with public schools to ensure their transformation and to sustain their relevance in the fast-changing information age. As founding partner, the XL Foundation's generosity has allowed the XL Education Initiative to continue to develop and gain momentum in the Bermudian education community.
