Cisco recently announced results from its International Education Survey of 500 education administrators and information technology officials from 14 countries.
More than 75 percent of those surveyed believe technology can play a significant role for students and educators, but a major concern for 83 percent of those surveyed is preparing students to find proper employment in the global economy.
Also, 85 percent see technology playing a major role in how students learn, and 86 percent feel students should develop collaboration and communication skills.
"I am gratified to see that new technologies, such as collaboration and video, are globally increasing in importance in education, as they can open the door to a world of opportunities for students, regardless of socio-economic status or geographical location,” said U.S. public sector director of education at Cisco Renee Patton.
A recent survey of 100 information technology companies by BDO USA provides a positive outlook for IT-related jobs. The survey revealed 46 percent of the companies plan to hire more staff in 2011, while only 7 percent of those surveyed expect to decrease IT staff.
IT is so important and Cisco is the leading IT innovation. So Cisco create so many Cisco institute or colleague in different countries. They invest much money in CISCO and IT education. Why? I think the gain will exceed more than pay. It makes the people in one country know cisco and grasp cisco technology. Then their products will be accepted and chosen as priority. This is really very smart way to solidify their IT leading status.
