Future of Education: Three Conversations

There is a lot going on in the educational technology market. In our effort to bring you continued insights in that market, we would like to bring to your attention three recent roundtable discussions:

Future of Higher Education with Prof. Anant Agarwal, CEO of EdX

Anant discusses how to unbundle the various core assumptions in our current educational system. I found this discussion extremely interesting and a viable way to think about how to check the escalating cost of higher education in America. The question is how long will the changes take to fully unfold, and create meaningful impact?

 Future of K-12 Education with Betsy Corcoran, CEO of EdSurge

Betsy offers perspective on trends, innovations, companies, etc. Once again, Betsy and I kicked around the timeline question on how long would it take for the system to sufficiently absorb these changes, such that meaningful impact happens.

And a wonderful discussion with Bhavin Parikh, CEO of Magoosh, an online test preparation company that is doing an amazing job shining in that space:

I would love for the readers to listen to these discussions, and weigh in on what you think the future of education would bring, and in what time frame. Look forward to an interesting discussion!

Looking For Some Hands-On Advice?

I receive many emails from entrepreneurs who want to discuss their specific businesses. I’m very happy to discuss your situation during my free online 1M/1M Roundtables, held almost every Thursday. During each roundtable, up to five entrepreneurs can pitch their businesses and receive my immediate and straightforward feedback.

To give entrepreneurs all over the world access to Silicon Valley’s knowledge, methodology, and network, I founded the One Million by One Million (1M/1M) global virtual incubator. 1M/1M aims to nurture a million entrepreneurs to reach a million dollars each in annual revenue and beyond, thereby creating a trillion dollars in global GDP and ten million jobs.

For those still testing the waters of entrepreneurship, I’ve written my Entrepreneur Journeys book series to inform and inspire. My newest book, Billion Dollar Unicorns, is now available from Amazon.

If you are interested in entrepreneurship topics and my writings, you can follow me here. I hope to publish articles on LinkedIn every week.
