Our new analysis highlights key state actions around #ECE in 2023 that will impact quality and access in 2024. Movement on Universal Pre-K, workforce development, and literacy reforms will mean SBE rulemaking is likely in 2024. NASBE's Winona Hao suggests states look for opportunities to expand program access and improve equity and program quality. “The particular needs of young multilingual learners merits added attention,” Hao writes.

The OECD's 2024 Education Report: A Wake-Up Call for EdTech? The latest Education at a Glance report is a clear reminder that despite our technological advances, we're still failing many learners. As someone who's worked across diverse educational landscapes, from developing global STEAM initiatives at LEGO Education to scaling online education in South Africa, and now leading B2B SaaS solutions for schools across APAC at Civica, I see this as an opportunity for our industry to reassess and improve. As we sift through the data and distill the key findings, a few critical issues seem at the heart of the matter: 1. We're Still Leaving Kids Behind. Family background remains a key predictor of educational outcomes. In plain terms: we're perpetuating inequality. Our EdTech solutions are falling short if they're not reaching every student, regardless of background. 2. More School ≠ Better Skills. We've got more kids in school for longer, but they're not necessarily learning more. This isn't just a statistic, it's a challenge to our educational models. How do we ensure our technology actually improves learning, not just digitises outdated practices? 3. Tech Isn't the Hero We Think It Is. Technology alone isn't the answer. This isn't about having the fanciest LMS or the latest AI integration. It's about how we use these tools to genuinely enhance learning and drive transformation. So, what now? The report points to some key areas: • Early Childhood Education: I may be biased (thanks to my LEGO days in Denmark), but we need to double down here. How can EdTech support early learners through play-based, STEAM-focused approaches without turning preschools into mini computer labs, over-digitalising early years? • Gender Equity: Women are outperforming men academically but still facing barriers in the workforce. Our technology needs to prepare all students for the real world, not just the next test. • Global Collaboration: Education isn't bound by borders, and neither should our solutions be. We need culturally responsive, adaptable solutions. My challenge to decision makers, EdTech leaders and educators: 1. Stop celebrating tech for tech's sake. If it's not improving learning outcomes, it's just expensive window dressing. Focus on improving learning outcomes. 2. Design for equity from the ground up. If your solution isn't accessible to the most disadvantaged student, it's not good enough. 3. Rethink assessment using data analytics for meaningful insights. Are we measuring what matters, or just what's easy to measure? 4. Collaborate, don't compete. These problems are too big for any one entity to solve. I see the 2024 OECD report as a call to action, not just food for thought. We have the tools and knowledge to transform education. What we need now is the will to make it happen. How are we ensuring our EdTech solutions are part of the solution? Let's create an education system that works for everyone, not just the privileged few. #OECDReport2024
What is the education system like in your country? The latest edition of Education at a Glance focuses on equity in education, and includes indicators on: ➡️ Education enrolment Since 2016, the share of 18-24 year-olds not in employment, education or training has fallen to 14%. This is driven by 18–24 year-olds staying in education longer and a robust labour market. However, skills mismatches remain a challenge. ➡️ Labour market outcomes The average private gains from completing tertiary education over a lifetime are USD 343 000 for a man and USD 292 700 for a woman. Despite lower returns, young women are more likely to complete tertiary education. ➡️ Teacher working conditions Teacher shortages exacerbate disparities in many education systems. Yet, financial incentives alone are not enough to attract well-qualified and motivated teachers. Education at a Glance 2024 is the definitive guide to the state of education around the world, providing policymakers with evidence to improve the effectiveness of their education systems.

A new paper by Patricia Bromley, Tom Nachtigal, and Rie Kijima, Ph.D. draws on the World Education Reform Database to examine changes in the promissory visions articulated in education reforms around the world. Analyzing the content of 9,268 reforms from 215 countries from 1970 to 2018, the authors identify a decline in traditional management-focused reforms and a rise in reforms related to data and information. They argue that the rise of data-centric reforms and the retreat from rights-based approaches may be connected, both reflecting and contributing to a broader erosion of the liberal world order.

🌍 How Different Educational Systems Shape Business, Labor, and Political Ecosystems I tried a dive into the mechanics of global educational systems and their profound impact on the business, labor, and political landscapes of a country - the ecosystem. Here are some findings: 1. Economic Growth and Labor Market: every additional year of education can increase an individual's future earnings by about 9%. This not only enhances personal economic stability but also fuels broader economic growth. A well-educated workforce is more productive and innovative, crucial for any country aiming to improve its competitive edge in the global market. 2. Political Stability and Policy Development: understanding different educational systems is not just academic—it's a critical part of political strategy. Effective education policies promote societal stability and prepare informed citizens who can engage thoughtfully in democratic processes. 3. Social Equity: education is the greatest leveller. It provides everyone with the opportunity to rise and improve their life circumstances, reducing social inequality. By investing in education, we invest in a fairer society where every individual has the chance to succeed (for the individual's sake, and for our sake). 4. Cultural Integration and Diversity: looking at various Israeli schools, including those in the Arab sector, one can observe how education shapes cultural understanding and integration (and how it is possible). Schools are melting pots where future citizens learn not just academics but also social integration and cultural diversity. 5. Innovation in Education: countries like Finland prioritize comfort and psychological well-being in their schools, focusing on play and interaction. This approach not only supports happier students but also teaches them to apply academic knowledge practically in real life—a skill every employer (allegedly) values. As we shape the future of educational policies, let's keep in mind that the type of education we promote will directly shape the business, labor, and political ecosystems of our country. Striving for an educational system that fosters a well-rounded, inclusive, and innovative society should be a touchpoint for all players in an ecosystem. #EducationReform #GlobalEducation #BusinessEcosystem #LaborMarket #PoliticalStability #SocialEquity #InnovativeEducation #Leadership #FutureOfWork Please share your thoughts and experiences on how education has impacted your professional and personal life.
