| book description |
American education is often attacked by critics citing test scores and pundits claiming systemic failure. Yet American Educational Excellence: The Foundation of Our Values, Democracy, and Market Capitalism by Kenan Sahin reveals a different story: one of resilience, innovation, and unmatched global impact. Through personal experience—from Robert College in Istanbul to MIT—and decades as an entrepreneur and educator, Sahin illustrates why the US education system remains an unparalleled engine of innovation. Rather than focusing narrowly on standardized testing, he highlights how the American education system produces individuals capable of thriving in democracy, capitalism, and global markets. Drawing vivid examples from ventures like Kenan Systems and CAMX Power, Sahin showcases how US education fosters adaptability, creativity, and leadership skills essential in an AI-driven future. Sahin argues that the real success of American education lies in having incorporated core American values and its symbiosis with democracy and market capitalism—nurturing initiative, competition, and community involvement. He shows how graduates of the US education system have led the world’s greatest companies—Amazon, Apple, Google—demonstrating the effectiveness of a values-driven education. The book explores how K-12 outcomes, higher education success, and cultural values converge to support the economy, emphasizing that metrics like innovation in education and resilience against disruption matter more than international test rankings. By blending historical analysis, business insight, and personal narrative, Sahin redefines the discussion on education and democracy. He warns that failing to recognize the system’s deep-rooted strengths could endanger the very forces that power America's future. For educators, policymakers, business leaders, and citizens concerned with American competitiveness, American Educational Excellence: The Foundation of Our Values, Democracy, and Market Capitalism provides an essential, optimistic, and fact-driven understanding. It’s a rallying cry for those who recognize that preserving the best of our education system is critical to national success in a world increasingly dominated by AI, quantum computing, and shifting global dynamics.
