Hilary Clinton has been sharing her vision for the future of education. The former first lady has outlined her intentions for higher education globally and in the United States to focus primarily on the disadvantaged and those who are in need of a post-secondary education, but are not necessarily looking for a four year degree. Clinton spoke at the Globalisation of Higher Education conference on Monday. The method behind the theory is to introduce academic programs, currently offered at American universities to be translated and available online around the world, focusing on countries where the English language is not the primary language.
Clinton addressed issues related to what courses would be appropriate for which locations, depending, for example their positioning in regards to economic growth. Clinton brought attention to the fact that in some countries there are 'elementary and secondary school systems, and research universities, but no levels in-between'. Clinton states that bridging the gap between these academic programs may well be the most beneficial element implicated by the American universities abroad.
