Education Industry Leaders Say Student Outcomes Are a Leading Concern-BMO Capital Markets Back to School Education Conference Poll
- Nearly half of respondents see greatest enrollment growth in online or blended education - Thirty-eight per cent say curriculum products like language comprehension will be among the most adopted education technology products over next five years
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NEW YORK and TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 09/30/15 -- Student outcomes, including whether a student qualifies for post-secondary education or gets a job after graduating, are the most important issues facing the education system today, according to a poll of 300 education industry leaders who attended BMO Capital Markets 15th Annual Back to School Education conference, which took place in New York earlier this month.
Those polled included a cross-section of individuals representing the industry's leading institutional investors, private equity and venture capital funds.
Seventy per cent of respondents identified student outcomes - or the meeting of particular education standards - as the top concern that needs to be addressed by the education industry today.
"Students are finding they lack the right skills to get into college, and there are college graduates who are not able to get a job once they graduate. That is pushing a focus on outcomes-focused education," said Jeff Silber, an analyst with BMO Capital Markets Research who hosted the Back to School Education Conference.
Nearly half of those responding to the poll (48 per cent) felt that education enrollment over the next five years will grow the most in online or blended education courses, underscoring how far online learning has come since the birth of the Internet.
"Online or blended education is increasingly becoming a mainstay and driver of the education industry," said Mr. Silber. "Whereas before it was often regarded as subpar education, online education is now accepted as a part of any good university's offering."
The poll also found that 38 per cent of respondents expect curriculum products - in areas from modern skills to language comprehension - will see the most adoption of education technology over the next five years.
