make the difference - at the unesco iite conference 2014
DESCRIPTION
Education and learning is probably that single phenomenon that has the greatest impact on humans and societies, in particular in a long-term perspective (OECD 2014). Grand challenge number one is to breach the trend preventing developing countries, in particular South of Sahara, taking part in the global knowledge revolution. Everyone aspiring for higher education should have the right to affordable access. This is grand challenge number two. And it cannot be met without open education and technology enhanced learning. Three messages: • Senior management in education needs to innovate from within to open up education. • Governments must take firm decision on holistic policies for open and distance education. • Stakeholders should team up meeting the two grand challenges through open education and technology enhanced learning.TRANSCRIPT

THE STATE OF HIGHER EDUCATION:Selected key findings and rec.
• Findings• The public and individuals benefit from
higher education, HE, in financial and non financial ways.– HE generates positive returns to the public
in general, as well as to the people who obtain degrees.
• HE without a degree does not boost earnings.– Although there are some benefits to
HEparticipation, even if no degree is earned, drop-outs do not usually enjoy the same financial returns that degree holders can expect.
