Israel and the U.S. each face similar challenges in their educational and workforce development sectors. Both systems are fraught with inequities and disparities, and suffer from antiquated models of teaching and learning, deteriorating student achievement, and a lack of capacity to meet future needs. Improving STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) capabilities are at the heart of both nations’ future economic and social success. This panel brings together funders interested in forging collaborative and leveraged strategies to reinvigorate the innovative and creative processes necessary to keep Israel and the U.S. strong and vibrant.
