Education for Growth and Prosperity: A Keynote Speech by President Jim Yong Kim

No country or community has prospered without an educated population. Education is key for economic growth, competitiveness, and social cohesion. It is also the foundation for innovation and development, and opens the way for lifelong opportunities, which are essential for long-term peace and stability. In our rapidly changing world, the nexus of business, government, and education will be critical to build thriving societies.
