Across the world, higher education is linked to higher levels of employment and life evaluation, making it the proverbial ticket to a great job and a great life. But the most recent evidence suggests that the link between higher education and graduates' readiness for today's rapidly changing workplace may be broken, says Brandon Busteed, Â鶹´«Ã½AV's executive director of education and workforce development.
In his keynote address at the World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE) last month, Busteed shared:
- the low percentages of Americans and business leaders who believe higher education prepares graduates for workplace success
- the six ingredients of the college or university experience that are linked to success later in life and work
- a first peek at new data related to education from the Â鶹´«Ã½AV World Poll, which consists of nationally representative surveys in 160 countries
- the wide variance in respect for teachers globally, ranging from 95% in Uzbekistan who believe teachers are well-respected to 26% in Romania
