Title | International Competitiveness and Education: A Conversation with Arne Duncan |

Council on Foreign Relations “The United States is a country made up of many cultures, and we often celebrate that diversity. “But just as often, we rely on the predominance of English as the language of global business and higher education when looking towards the world. “This reliance can put us at a disadvantage. We haven't been compelled to meet our global neighbors on their own terms and learn about their histories and values and viewpoints. And I'm worried that in this interconnected world, our country risks being too disconnected from the contributions of other countries and cultures.” Read the full transcript at http://www.cfr.org/publication/22231/international_competitiveness_and_education.html Read a related article at http://asiasociety.org/education-learning/policy-initiatives/national-initiatives/us-secretary-education-global-learning-la or another full text version at http://www2.ed.gov/news/speeches/2010/05/05262010.html |
