      DUBAI, Emiratos Árabes Unidos, 18 de marzo de 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- En el último día del primer Global Education and Skills Forum, celebrado en Dubai, donde 500 delegados de 50 países están discutiendo la demanda global de una educación mejor, Sunny Varkey, fundador y presidente de GEMS Education, dijo:

      "Basándonos en las opiniones y los comentarios de aquellos que asistieron y contribuyeron al Forum, hemos decidido que el Global Education and Skills Forum sea un evento anual que se celebrará en los Emiratos Árabes Unidos, y nuestro plan es asegurar que sea considerado 'el Davos de la Educación'. La educación debe ser vista como el tema más importante globalmente, debido al papel que puede desempeñar en el alivio de algunos de los desafíos más apremiantes del mundo. Quiero hacer un enfático llamamiento a los jefes de estado, los diseñadores de políticas, los líderes empresariales y las ONG, para que participen en el Forum 2014 con el objeto de centrarnos en la educación por el bien de los niños del mundo".

      El Dr. Fareed Zakaria de CNN, analista de asuntos globales reconocido internacionalmente que pronunció el discurso principal, dijo sobre la conferencia: "Creo que un encuentro como este, un Forum como este, para comenzar este proceso de transformación real de la educación para el futuro para que se convierta en algo tan innovador, vanguardista y dinámico como tantos otros aspectos del progreso de la sociedad, es una enorme ventaja".

      Más temprano en la conferencia, que este año se centró en las asociaciones entre el sector público y el privado, Bill Clinton, ex Presidente de los Estados Unidos, dijo:

      "Se proyecta que para el año 2050 el 86% de los niños del mundo vivirán en los que ahora son países en desarrollo. No hay forma de que los gobiernos solos o los flujos de ayuda internacional sean capaces de brindar a esos niños la calidad de educación que necesitan para ser participantes plenos en una sociedad global. Esto es especialmente pertinente para las mujeres y las niñas".

      Tony Blair, ex Primer Ministro del Reino Unido, dijo: "El futuro de la educación radica en las asociaciones. No hay razones para tener una línea divisoria estricta entre el sector público y el privado en educación. Los países que están implementando asociaciones entre ambos sectores están teniendo éxito". Hablaba en la reunión inaugural del Global Education and Skills Forum en Dubai sobre la forma en que las asociaciones entre el sector público y el privado pueden resolver la demanda global de una educación mejor.

      S.E. Maria Kiwanuka, Ministra de Finanzas, Planificación y Desarrollo Económico de Uganda, dijo:

      "El sector privado puede ofrecer el vínculo con el mercado en el que hay una puerta giratoria. La relación entre el gobierno, el sector privado y la academia es importante. Necesitamos que haya una fertilización cruzada constante entre los tres".

      El Forum, organizado conjuntamente por la UNESCO, el Commonwealth Business Council, el Gobierno de los Emiratos Árabes Unidos y GEMS Education, examinará formas de crear un cambio real, sustentable y escalable en los sistemas educativos tanto a nivel global como local.

      Un enfoque específico se centró en el desarrollo de un entorno que apoye las asociaciones efectivas entre el sector público y el privado, incluido un marco regulatorio que asegure el acceso, la calidad, la relevancia y la equidad en la oferta educativa.

      Alrededor de 67 millones de niños no tienen acceso a la educación escolar primaria, y otros 72 millones de niños abandonan la educación escolar secundaria.

      El Forum cubrió temas de todos los sectores educativos, incluso sesiones sobre tecnologías disruptivas, educación técnica y vocacional, e igualdad en la educación.

      Entre los asistentes estuvieron E. Pierre Nkurunziza, Presidente de Burundi; S.E. Maria Kiwanuka, Ministra de Finanzas, Planificación y Desarrollo Económico de Uganda; S.E. Olusegun Obasanjo, ex Presidente de la República Federal de Nigeria; S.E. Cirino Ofuho, Ministro de la Juventud; S.E. Chilundo Arlindo, Viceministro de Educación de Mozambique, Sudán del Sur; S.E. Reem Al Hashimy, Ministro de Estado de los Emiratos Árabes Unidos; Nick Fuller, responsable de Educación de los Juegos Olímpicos 2012, Reino Unido; S.E. Shashi Tharoor, Ministro de Desarrollo de Recursos Humanos de la India; y Lord Andrew Adonis, ex Ministro de Estado de Educación del Reino Unido.
