Global Survey Reveals Major Shift in Education Toward Do-It-Yourself Learning

Sept. 17, 2019 | PRNewswire Pearson, the world's learning company, today released the results of its Global Learner Survey, a new study capturing the voice of learners worldwide. The findings point Sept. 17, 2019 | PRNewswire

Pearson, the world's learning company, today released the results of its Global Learner Survey, a new study capturing the voice of learners worldwide. The findings point to massive global transformation in education driven by the shifting economic landscape of the new talent economy, the vast influence of technology and perceptions that education systems are out of step with learners. The study shows that learners around the world are now taking control of their education through a "do-it-yourself" (DIY) mindset, adding to their formal education with a mix of self teaching, short courses and online learning to keep pace with the talent economy. The survey also shows that learners are thinking beyond the traditional notions of learning, signaling a massive opportunity for education providers to reinvent learning to meet the needs of a new economy.

Pearson conducted the study with Harris Insights & Analytics to give learners in 19 countries the opportunity to voice their opinions on primary, secondary and higher education; careers and the future of work; and technology. More than 11,000 people, ranging in age from 16 to 70, participated in the poll. The survey is the most comprehensive and wide ranging global public opinion survey of learners to date. In addition, Pearson released today Opportunity for Higher Education in the Era of the Talent Economy, a guide to the survey's implications and opportunities for higher education.

"Gig jobs, unconventional careers, tech disruption and lifelong learning have ushered in the talent economy. Now more than ever, learners understand the need for lifelong education," said John Fallon, chief executive of Pearson. "People are meeting the demands of this new world of work by taking control of their own learning. Now, technology and innovation are giving educators, governments and companies the greatest opportunity in human history to rise to the occasion and improve lives through education."

Anomali Harris Poll Reveals Majority of Americans Won’t Vote for Candidates Who Approve Ransomware...

Anomali, a leader in intelligence-driven cybersecurity, today announced the results of its recent survey conducted by The Harris Poll. It includes responses from more than 2,000 American adults and re Anomali, a leader in intelligence-driven cybersecurity, today announced the results of its recent survey conducted by The Harris Poll. It includes responses from more than 2,000 American adults and reveals how Americans believe business and government organizations should respond to ransomware attacks as well as their opinions on cybersecurity in general.

Cybercriminals have been using ransomware to profit off of unprepared victims for more than a decade. It rose to infamy when the WannaCry and NotPetya attacks struck the world. Recently, attackers have collected more than a million dollars from the Florida cities of Riviera Beach and Lake City. In July, ransomware drove Louisiana into a state of emergency. Organizations such as the FBI and National Conference of Mayors have come out against making ransomware payments. This survey suggests that Americans believe government and businesses alike should do more to defend against ransomware and cyberattacks, that they are willing to contribute more to the fight, and that government officials’ decisions related to cybersecurity will impact voting decisions they make in the future.

Key Findings:

64% of registered voters will not vote for candidates who approve of making ransomware payments

79% of registered voters will consider candidates’ stances on cybersecurity when making future voting decisions

66% of Americans believe that government organizations should never make ransomware payments to cyber criminals

64% of Americans believe that businesses should never make ransomware payments to cyber criminals

86% of Americans agree that when organizations make ransomware payments, they are encouraging cyber criminals to continue with such attacks

70% of Americans agree that when organizations do make ransomware payments to cyber criminals, it is likely because they were left with no other choice

Roughly 1 in 5 Americans (21%) have experienced a ransomware attack on a personal and/or work device; among those who experienced an attack on a work device, 46% say their company paid the ransom

Americans are Prioritizing Cyber Security, Willing to Contribute More to Fight

The survey revealed that many Americans view cybersecurity as a priority. A large portion (87%) believe that government should consider it as such. However, only 51 percent believe the government is effectively addressing the issue. The survey also showed that 61 percent of Americans would support a federal income tax increase to help fund government efforts to defend against cyberattacks. The breakdown for the amount of tax increase Americans would support is:

25% support an increase of up to 1%

14% support an increase of up to 2%

12% support an increase of up to 3%

6% support an increase of up to 4%

5% support an increase of 5% or more

“Enterprises and government agencies have started to pay closer attention to cybersecurity as they have learned that it can have a detrimental impact on their reputations and bottom lines,” said Nicholas Hayden, Global Head of Threat Intelligence, Anomali. “It is encouraging to learn that average Americans are now more attuned to how important cybersecurity is and to find out that they are willing to make financial commitments to doing something about it.”
