Connections, Collaborations and Competition: Report from ConnectEd

Connections, Collaborations and Competition: Report from ConnectEd: “Educators in the developing world are generally trying too hard to emulate Harvard rather than replicating the diversity of the American higher education system – not only the elites but also the community colleges and regional universities – in building up their own systems, Jairam Reddy, director of the United Nationals University International Leadership Institute, in Jordan, said during a roundtable discussion this week on “International Higher Education Competitiveness” featuring representatives from four different countries. The discussion took place as part of this week’s ConnectEd: A Conference on Global Education in Monterey, Calif., hosted by Middlebury College and the Monterey Institute of International Studies.”
