Submit Your Questions Today
We think that surfacing questions is often as important as answering them.
I hope the latest edition of Perspectives ("Learning the Future") has got you
thinking about the state of education worldwide and whether we are preparing
our children for the globalized world they will inherit.
Now you can dive deeper into these topics through
our series of online chats! OneWorld is teaming up with
Gather.com to offer you a chance to interact with authors
of September's edition of Perspectives.
Carolyn Bartholomew, executive director of the Basic
Education Coalition, is our first guest. She will discuss
progress that's been made and the challenges that remain
in getting all the world's children into school by 2015.
Mark Your Calendars!
Date: Tuesday, October 3
Time: 2-3 pm EST

I am curious to know if Basic Ed. Coalition has knowledge of what language the majority of the programs are taught in ? I understand this is highly contextual, but have you any policy on instruction in the official or indigenous language of a region ?
Thanks, Elizabeth
