WAYS TO IMPROVE QUALITY EDUCATION: Revise Educational Programs Based on Industry Changes Of course, one of your school’s lengthy checklist of goals is to equip its students for their future, and there’s no doubt about that. But, as numerous studies suggest, changes are always bound to happen in various industries. When those changes arrive, the education that your school teaches could become outdated, and to some degree, irrelevant. For that reason, you need to revise your school’s educational programs based on industry changes. As a school owner or educator, it’s your obligation to bridge the skills gap that has been an issue in our society. The skills gap refers to the mismatch of graduates’ competency and the employers’ requirements. Being able to equip students with the right knowledge and skillset is a significant criterion in delivering high-quality education.

10 WAYS TO REDUCE POVERTY IN THE WORLD 1. Develop and implement rapid and sustained economic growth policies and programs, in areas such as health, education, nutrition and sanitation, allowing the poor to participate and contribute to the growth. Studies show that a 10 percent increase in a country’s average income reduces poverty by as much as 20-30 percent. 2. Improve management of water and other natural resources. Most of the rural poor depend on agriculture or other natural resources for their livelihood. Consequently, it is necessary that they have more equitable access to those resources so they are better able to manage their resources. 3. Invest in and implement agricultural programs. China has helped 800 million people out of poverty since 1978. As a part of its strategy to eradicate poverty by 2020, the Agricultural Bank of China will lend more than $400 billion to help develop rural areas, fund education, i...
