Veronica Lacey President and CEO The Learning Partnership
The first installment of our new video series, Great Ideas from Canadian Leaders, has been a great success and we’re on our way of achieving our goal: to stimulate dialogue across sectors to generate new ideas, policies and practices.
In our first installment, business and educational leaders discussed how our public school system needs to produce students who can be innovative, productive, and competitive so Canada can prosper in the global economy. The second installment focuses on that global economyand features renowned economists Warren Jestin, chief economist for the Bank of Nova Scotia and Kevin Lynch, vice-chair of BMO Financial Group. They discuss how the world is changing and why it’s time to reinvent our educational system to meet future market demands.
As you view these videos, we invite you to consider the following questions and then join the dialogue.
With dwindling resources and rising health care costs, how long can a country as large as Canada continue providing quality education to all children?
We need to reinvent our educational system to meet the needs of a new economy. How can this be achieved?
