Global Education Leaders Program

Building Leadership Capacity

The capabilities required for success in the 21st century are different from those needed in previous generations. There is an urgent need for leaders to influence and support change in our current education systems to best help their student populations succeed in this century. To support this effort, a coalition of thought leaders, policy-makers, consultants, and practitioners from several jurisdictions around the world have joined forces with Cisco to form the Global Education Leaders' Program. Their goal is to develop in-depth, sustainable transformation practices beyond the simple exchange of ideas.

Guiding Principles:

  • Working together to develop the change agenda and practices needed to transform education systems
  • Equipping and supporting leaders through collaborative problem solving and "next-practice" models
  • Developing new capabilities and effecting sustainable change at the local, national and global level
  • Gaining international respect at every level
