Meeting at the World Economic Forum on the Middle East and North Africa

The World Economic Forum’s Global Agenda Council on Education Systems concluded in its 2010 Report that despite the significant global progress achieved in access to education, the issues of quality and relevance remain critical. Stronger, higher quality and more relevant education systems supported by sustainable funding and delivered by integrated cooperation between multiple stakeholders are urgently required. Too often, access to education has been promoted at the expense of quality. Schools rather than equipping youth with the critical skills required for success in today’s globally interconnected world, merely further propagate social inequality and exclusion.
In the Arab region, quality of education is intensely critical given its demographic and social implications. Although progress has been made in some key areas such as basic enrolment, millions of youth leave school without employable skills, and millions more emerge from university lacking the capabilities needed to compete for entry into private sector employment. Youth unemployment in the region averages 25%, and there are deep concerns about the quality and relevance of existing education models to provide the skills required for economic growth and development in the 21st century.
Through the Global Education Initiative's groundbreaking multistakeholder partnership models in education (MSPE) in Jordan (2003) and Egypt (2006), the World Economic Forum has demonstrated the potential for systemic and positive changes in national education advancement in the Arab world when there is clear government leadership and vision, and when key stakeholders are given the opportunity to collaborate. The time is now for the Arab world to build on these experiences and initiate the changes required to begin a region-wide transformation in education.
With policy transformation on education reform as a core theme, the Education Summit will convene leaders from the highest levels of government, business, academia and civil society with key stakeholders from the education sector to drive a paradigm shift aimed at unlocking the true potential of the Arab world and develop a roadmap focused on three key building blocks:
Who can participate in the Summit?
Participation in the Education Summit is by invitation and is reserved for senior business leaders from Partners and Foundation Members participating in the World Economic Forum on the Middle East and North Africa, members of the Global Agenda Council on Education Systems, members from the Regional Agenda Council on the Middle East and the Young Global Leaders. Government and civil society leaders, teachers, headmasters, university presidents, students and education professionals from the Arab world and beyond will also be invited to lead discussions.
Strategic engagement of Partners
The outcome of the Education Summit will be the development of a roadmap that defines the actions and commitments required to catalyse the region-wide education transformation urgently required for the Arab world to realize its full potential. Experts from the Forum’s Global Agenda Councils, leaders from government and civil society, and senior business leaders from Forum Partner companies - especially those from the Arab world - will be invited to co-design the programme of the Education Summit and more importantly to develop the scope and elements of the roadmap.

14/09 Business leaders highlight close links between sustainability and competitiveness
Sustainability and competitiveness are closely linked, business leaders argued in a plenary session on sustainability and corporate competitiveness on the second day of the fourth Annual Meeting of the New Champions 2010. “Sustainability goes beyond greenhouse emission targets,” said Eckhard Cordes, Chairman of the Management Board and Chief Executive Officer of METRO GROUP, the German retailer. “It must become part of your business and not just an add-on and it must be visibly supported by the CEO.” Sustainability and competitiveness are really the same thing, reckoned Klaus Kleinfeld, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Alcoa, the aluminium producer in the United States. “When we do something, we do it in a sustainable way.” If a company does the right thing and has the right values, it attracts customers and people want to work there, Kleinfeld added.
15/09 Emerging economies set to become main engine of growth
Emerging economies have recovered faster from the crisis than developed countries and are set to become the main engine of growth for the world, leading economists and Chinese officials said in a panel addressing the outlook for the global economy.
Gerard Lyons, Chief Economist and Group Head, Global Research, Standard Chartered Bank, said that the recovery in global growth has been led by emerging economies. "It is a tale of two worlds," he said, pointing to stagnation in the West versus strong growth in the East.
This is not necessarily a disaster, noted Nariman Behravesh, Chief Economist, HIS. “Japan has showed us that sluggish growth doesn’t have to mean a deteriorating quality of life," he added.
"China’s government responded rapidly to the crisis of 2008, taking the lead in achieving economic recovery," said Ma Jiantang, Commissioner, National Bureau of Statistics of China. China’s GDP growth rate rose far more than expected, from 6.1% in early 2009 to 11.9% in 2010. Measures have since been taken to address rapid credit growth and fears of overheating. "I am not worried about the speed of the economic recovery," he added. "China is looking to achieving 10% growth in 2010, with CPI less than 3%."
Xia Bin, Director-General, Financial Research Institute, Development Research Center of the State Council (DRC), People’s Republic of China, stressed that growth expectations need to be moderately adjusted downwards to ensure growth is sustainable: "China cannot enjoy the same double-digit growth rates of 2003 to 2007."
