Thomas L. Friedman said on Meet the Press that major employers are...
"...all looking for the same
kind of employee now: Someone who can do critical reasoning and thinking...who
can adapt, invent, and reinvent the job, because in this hyper-connected world
change is happening so fast."
Clearly, Freidman argues, education has got to change--it's
been too rote, and now it needs to prepare thinkers, leaders and innovators.
This is a hard job for an industry made up of mostly non-entrepreneurial,
deeply security-minded types.
He says that:
"...going forward there really are
just going to be two kind of countries in the world: HIEs and LIEs:
High -Imagination-Enabling countries and Low-Imagination-Enabling countries.
"Forget 'Developed' and 'Developing'."
That's big.
And it means a better kind of education must be
adopted.
