Exploring the Evolving Educational System in China
General Session G: 8:30 - 9:45 am
The global marketplace is waiting and watching to see what China does on every front – and education is no exception. China is a country with 367 million school-age children. It is using a centralized education system to create the human capital that will promote economic growth and continued integration of the urban and rural populations. Because the country is going through such rapid socioeconomic development, it is constantly re-evaluating its curriculum, measurement systems, teaching methods and priorities, while making huge investments in infrastructure and technology. Learn what China is doing in terms of planning for all levels of education, what it values and what it admires in other systems.

Corporations are dependent upon the success of the educational system in the countries in which they do business to – among other things – produce a qualified workforce, and a well-prepared and engaged citizenry. Many US-based companies are investing resources – both dollars and time – to make improvements in the educational system in the United States, and others are also recognizing the importance of taking an active role in the workforce preparedness of the global population. The Conference Board is designing this high-level conference to inform both strategies. Equal emphasis will be placed on US-focused programs and those operating globally. The program will give you insight into the following:
· Measurement as a critical factor in developing any program
· Leadership development as a critical tool in educational improvement
· Using educational programs as key to workforce development
· Gaining multiple benefits of corporate social investing through the use of volunteers
· Creating unique grant-awarding methodologies as a way to enhance the funded program
· Global awareness as an integral part of any educational system, and
· Early education as a gateway to future educational success.
