The World Education Market (WEM) joins LearningTimes in hosting tomorrow's free program, "Education Perspectives from Europe, the US and the Caribbean". The event features high-profile WEM conference speakers who will tackle contrasting education perspectives from Norway, the US and the Dominican Republic. Participating in the discussion will be Michael Jay, President of Educational Systemics (USA), Pedro Dajer, Vice Minister of Education in charge of IT and Information Systems Area for the Ministry of Education (DOMINICAN REPUBLIC) and Ingeborg Boe, Vice-President of the European Distance Education Network and Executive Director of the Norvegian Association for Distance Education (NORWAY). Co- hosting with me will be Farimah Schuerman, Principal of KnowledgeQuest Education Group and LearningTimes Editorial Board member. Mr. Jay, joining us from the USA, Mr. Dajer, from the Dominican Republic, and Ms. Boe, from Norway, will take your questions live about standard adoptions and interoperability frameworks, education reforms and distance education in primary, secondary and post- secondary education. Elaine Legault, Director of WEM, will update you on the latest WEM news.
