Great Ideas from Canadian Leaders – Economy

The world economy is changing and shifting. For individuals – and Canada -- to succeed in tomorrow’s demanding marketplace, flexibility, resilience, creativity and advanced digital literacy will be required. This is the challenge for today’s educators.

With dwindling resources and rising health care costs, how long can a country as large as Canada continue providing quality education to all children? We need to reinvent our educational system to meet the needs of a new economy. How can this be achieved?

In this second installment of Great Ideas from Canadian Leaders, two renowned economists – Warren Jestin, chief economist for the Bank of Nova Scotia and Kevin Lynch, vice-chair of BMO Financial Group – discuss how the world is changing and why its time to reinvent our educational system.
