Microsoft’s Vision For Education
Expand the Power of Personalized Learning to All through ICT
Personalised learning isn’t new – it builds on what the best teachers are already doing. However:
• The world is getting more complex.
• More complexity requires more knowledge and skills
• More knowledge and skills requires more education
• More education requires more teachers
• The cost of teachers is rising
• 18 million new teachers will be required by 2015 to cope with growing demand
• The shortage has outstripped the ability of education leaders in many areas to recruit, train, and retain quality teachers
• The lack of skilled or motivated teachers affects all levels of education and geographies
• So, do we as society need to re-think Teaching?
