福布斯签约作家Nick Morrison说道

“Education is the ultimate political football and there’s nothing politicians like so much as making schools ‘better,’

but when a group of respected school leaders come up with a list of things they would do to improve education,

it’s worth a listen.”

在全球经济中

教育成功的基准不再仅仅是国家水准的提高

而是成为国际上表现最好的学校体系

最新的全球学校学习成果评估标准机构PISA

（Program for International StudentAssessment）

评估结果显示

全球人才库的构成发生了惊人的变化

上海已经是2009年表现最好的教育系统

它已经将学生数学成绩

领先新加坡一学年

然而，教育在许多领域仍有改进的空间

内在动机往往很小

比如，学生们不再喜欢解决复杂的问题

更想学得对工作有用的东西

也有迹象表明

学校可以改善学习的社会氛围

让更多的孩子觉得自己属于学校

让学生感到同辈间的关爱和真情

语料原文：

Here are a few key issues that need to be addressed if we are to improve the education system in my country.

Firstly, we need to ensure teachers’ entitlement to professional development. Experienced teachers are a great asset, and nowhere does the quality of a school system exceed the quality of its teachers. However, their professional status often goes unrecognized and little attention is given to furthering their professional development. Currently, when deciding where to invest, school systems prioritize the size of classes over quality of teachers. At the very least, they should provide pathways for teachers to grow in their careers. They should support their teachers to make innovations in pedagogy, to improve their own performance and that of their colleagues, and to pursue professional development that leads to stronger educational practice.

It's also important to create a positive social climate for learning. Just two-thirds of students feel they belong at school. The school system should create an environment where students believe that they can learn and that what they are learning is useful, relevant, and meaningful for them. They need to know that they belong in the classroom to learn, not to compete against classmates.
