Thanks to 3 countries, more people finish college

Global prosperity is on the rise! I guess new OECD data reveals that it's mostly 3 countries that we have to thank: The US, China, and Japan. Why? Because, as GOOD reveals, together they graduate nearly half of the world's college degrees.

Don't despair though, college degrees rose worldwide up to 39% in 2009 compared to 20% in 1995. So it seems that there is a nice possibility that in the future the world will be more edu-balanced. Awesome!!

New Videos form New Schools Venture Fund Celebrate Education Entrepreneur

It's good someone is celebrating education entrepreneurs - the type that are less in it for the money and more in it for the impact. These awesome videos keep it real and add a very human dimension to the topic. What I like the most about them so far? That they're not so much a smart speech, like TED talks, which can feel a bit unachievable. These videos hint at the process and struggles of education entrepreneurs while definitely delivering on visionary thoughts too! Way to go New Schools Venture Fund!
