International Conference Focuses on Preparation for Competition in Global Market - Higher Education

International Conference Focuses on Preparation for Competition in Global Market - Higher Education: MIAMI — Global experts from 70 countries have gathered here this week to strategize about a broad range of issues that will impact the future of international higher education.

The three-day annual conference, titled “Inclusion, Innovation, and Impact,” kicked off yesterday at the Miami Beach Convention Center and is being sponsored by the British Council, an international organization that promotes educational opportunities and cross-cultural relations around the world.

“Urbanization plus digital communications plus education is a combination that is as revolutionary as railways and the new industrial manufacturing techniques of the 19th century,” says Sir Martin Davidson, the chief executive of the British Council.
