Relating to the need for the Go Global High School Study Abroad Programl,Yale President Richard Levin on the Charlie Rose show (at 18 minutes: 50 seconds) says:
America historically has been too insular a society. We’re
in a deeply interconnected world today…. Careers for students today are going
to involve global experiences. Whatever your profession, business, you need to
know about the world…. I think there is a learning skill beyond reading, oral
expression, mathematics, that’s a capacity to understand people with different
values, the capacity for cross cultural understanding…. Building capacity in
our students to understand the world…. We are developing global experiences for
all our students.
At the 26th minute a discussion of Chinese and US higher education begins.
