Every country desperately needs a learning revolution to match the revolution in communications and technology.
Every business needs to continually reinvent itself to stay in business.
The most effective, such as GE, Cisco, Dell, Oracle and Microsoft, are showing the way. But public education is lagging light years behind business. Were Rip Van Winkle to wake up today after sleeping for 130 years probably the only thing he would recognize would be the typical school classroom. Fortunately, the needed revolution in schooling is gaining pace, but only in pockets around the world. I personally believe that information and communications technology is the catalyst that will at last force the vital changes that are needed.
