Editor's Notes
Satya’s commitment to education (meeting teachers, students around the world). Education has never before been more important to the company.
Our PS VP TTW often jokes the WW Education team is the largest NGO in a corporation in existence, because we focus on offering our tools for free or very low cost in education.
This is because -Our need for highly skilled people – societal needs – e-Skills job figures. Quality Education is an inoculation against unemployment.
Digital inclusion model – 1:1 programs benefit education, but also huge knock on benefits on society. Better edu = less crime,, better health… Every country can achieve cost savings.
Tell story of working with students in Lao, access to technology increasing their English skills & horizons beyond those of their teachers.
Acknowledge OECD report results, our shared belief that involvement of teachers, change management, etc. crucial to effective use.

How we developed this
finland
The human element: key role of teacher training. 50% teachers say they have insufficient training in ICT – so many of your children will be in classes where teachers don’t feel they have the skills they need. Often it’s not about the tech itself but the pedagogy: successful teachers will step back and empower students. We train millions of teachers WW, as well as identifying innovative educactors to share their stories and encourage peer learning (Tell Ray Chambers story about Minecraft)
So where teachers do have the skills they need, magic can really happen
How can we measure transformation?
Harness power of big data. Experiments like the Strategic Data Project in Harvard
Azure ML + EMIS + Personalized learning systems
Requires partnerships – within gov (MoE + MoIT + MoF), NGOs, and industry.
