Mr Fried fails to mention an obvious source of savings. Americans could complete theirundergraduate degrees in three years , instead of four. In practice,most American students take even longer than four years, not least because so many work topay their tuition. Surprisingly, Americas future chainsaw-wielding corporate titans take aleisurely two years to complete their MBAs; most Europeans need only one.
Vance Fried忘了提及一种显而易见的节省开支的渠道。美国人可以用3年取得本科学位,而不是4年。。实际上,许多美国人取得学位的时间都要超过4年尤其是因为要做许多工作来支付学费。奇怪的是,美国未来的企业巨头需两年,方可从容完成MBA学位,大多数欧洲人只需要1年。
Shai Reshef, an educational entrepreneur-turned-philanthropist, is pioneering an even moreradical idea. His University of the People offers free higher education , pitching itself to poor peoplein America and the rest of the world. The university does this by exploiting three resources: thegoodwill of academic volunteers who want to help the poor, the availability of freecourseware on the internet and the power of social networking. Some 2,000 academicvolunteers have designed the courses and given the university some credibility. Tutors directthe students, who so far number 1,000 or so and hail from around the world, to the onlinecourses. They also help to organise them into study groups, and then supervise from afar,dropping in on discussions and marking tests. Mr Reshef pays for incidental expenses with$2m of his own money and donations.
