Education, says SAS co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Jim Goodnight, is the key to economic recovery and growth in Latin America.

Goodnight, one of the world’s richest individuals and an avid supporter of the World Economic Forum, is a co-chair and one of the speakers at this week’s WEF on Latin America in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

“In a world marked by global competition, education is how we will transform societies, enhance quality of life and give real opportunities to young people,” Goodnight said. “Investing in quality education isn’t a luxury. It’s a must, the only lasting key to success.”
