This debate provides a much needed forum for exploring issues
around the globalization of education.
Is education a merchandisable, for-profit commodity or a
public service? How effective will globalization of education be in
addressing the divide between haves and have nots? Is globalization
of education merely the market distribution of content or are there
aspects of diversity, social networking, and cultural exchange in
the mix?
Join us as we debate these and other globalization of
education issues.
This is an exciting new kind of event with two parts. Part
one is an online forum for delegates and international participants
to discuss the topic and shape the event in advance of the debate.
Part two is the debate itself taking place live before onsite
delegates and webcast simultaneously to an international online
audience.
Part One: Pre-Debate Online
Forum
Prior to the debate delegates and online international
participants are invited to discuss the pros and cons of
globalization of education online. The online forum also provides an
area where questions to be put to debaters can be submitted.
Everyone is invited to post their questions in advance of the
debate. Moderators will use these questions during the live
event..
Part Two: Live Debate Onsite and
Online
The debate will occur live for IFC delegates in
Washington and
simultaneously webcast over the Internet live to online participants
around the world. During the debate moderators will use questions
from the pre-debate online forum as well as live questions from
both onsite and online participants.
As the first event on the second day this session promises to
be lively and provocative. Build your anticipation by participating
online in advance. Join in stimulating the discussion with your own
thoughts and questions. Interact globally while participating
locally. We think youll find this event the centre of ensuing
second day of events at the International Forum on Investment in
Private Education.
