Thank you. And thank you to the Korean Educational Development Institute, the Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology, the OECD, UNESCO, and World Bank for gathering us together today.

There’s a wealth of experience and expertise in this room. Years of research and field work… countless degrees and doctorates… all directed towards one dream: to give every child a quality education.

It's not often that my morning starts with a really catchy tune, played live on a New York street corner by one of the coolest and most talented musicians around. But this one did. And it was all for a great cause. I can't wait to tell my eldest son, Hussein.
