2,000 leaders and innovators in the world of education, and
last week the annual WISE Summit in Qatar. In an online survey were asked a
university degree before the start of the event, the 21st century whether they
thought it was essential to economic progress. More than 60% did not answer.
This is a group of deeply committed to what was one of the speakers, Ricardo Seller, CEO of SEMCO Partners and Ralston-Seller Foundation in Brazil, "the transformation of the power of education" and, especially, its creator has the ability to change the lives of marginalized groups.
Dr. Sakena Jacobi was awarded this year's annual WISE. She had almost single-handedly transformed the lives of thousands of women through the education of the most difficult circumstances in Afghanistan. So, why do so many of these pioneers and innovators such skepticism, where the show in terms of access to higher education?

She had almost single-handedly transformed the lives of thousands of women through the education of the most difficult circumstances in Afghanistan. So, why do so many of these pioneers and innovators such skepticism, where the show in terms of access to higher education?
A first reason for the difficulties it faces in higher education, especially in a region like the Middle East, is to define what is in the 21st century. The panel "The Future of Higher Education" was the title of a session of the summit, among others, former World Bank tertiary education coordinator, Dr. Jamil Salami, the renowned American journalist Jeffrey at Salina.
While the valuable contributions of the panelists, it was not to balance the desire for higher education to citizens and to solve the global challenges of the early 21st century versus the need to prepare students to be employable little consensus about.
Graduate unemployment is far too high, especially in the Middle East. This is the real cause damage to the access and equity arguments. Citizenship argument, commands a great deal of sympathy, but it was not clear how to combine these mechanisms to lower the level of unemployment.
The summit focused mainly on primary and secondary education inequities. Her Highness Sheikh Moza Bin Nasser full opening of the 60 million children around the world who do not finish primary school, and the amount of the current refugee crisis is growing.
Inevitably, the face of this challenge, access to higher education in order to take into account the appearance of a second. But higher education expanded and built roads unless the ceiling is the impact of participation in the primary / secondary education on the lives of children in the developing world over.
The plot of the primary / secondary schools and talk about the differences and the solution was missing. The 2015 WISE survey on education, 1,550 a month at the summit of education experts from around the world, "education is a failure to keep pace with changes in the workplace" to the solutions of the past. However, the proposed cooperation in schools and workplaces, but, tellingly, not universities.
Finally, perhaps the most important message from the summit was the need to address the impact of conflict. Today the sense of forced displacement are the highest since the Second World War, the people, with over 60 million displaced from their homes. Of these, more than half of 1% of young people are not going on to higher education. Action is under way in higher education to engage on this issue.
Quick response
Jorge Shampoo, former President of the Republic of Portugal, the other initiatives to support higher education for a rapid response mechanism to set up a humanitarian emergency in the head as he spoke. The goal is "lost generation 'who cannot tolerate the creation of student access to higher education to avoid the consequences of the conflict.
The ability to participate in higher education to be central to the global education policy and the challenge of how to connect to this problem depends on the innovation agenda.
What is higher education, its primary / secondary difference addressing the forced displacement of the relationship and its contribution to a better articulation. These ideas, if together, represent a much more powerful narrative, broader access and equity in higher education in what it means to exist at this time.
The summit recognized those individuals with higher education, the role of empowering communities and countries. Michelle Osama, wife of US President Barrack Osama, have enabled his journey through higher education, "the young girl in a black working class family", was how to get to the White House spoke.
Dr. Jacobi its work to transform the Afghan embrace university education in primary and secondary learning as much as he talked.
However, higher education has to be more pro-active. For example, taking the lead in working collectively Syria refugees and other conflict zones, offering the opportunity to make, and often rather than be pressed to make its contribution should begin.
It does not do this, the risk of losing relevance, or are perceived importance at best, where the most serious problems in terms of education in the world to lose.
