Microsoft’s Vision For Education

Expand the Power of Personalized Learning to All through ICT

Personalised learning isn’t new – it builds on what the best teachers are already doing. However:

• The world is getting more complex.

• More complexity requires more knowledge and skills

• More knowledge and skills requires more education

• More education requires more teachers

• The cost of teachers is rising

• 18 million new teachers will be required by 2015 to cope with growing demand

• The shortage has outstripped the ability of education leaders in many areas to recruit, train, and retain quality teachers

• The lack of skilled or motivated teachers affects all levels of education and geographies

• So, do we as society need to re-think Teaching?
