PREPARING STUDENTS FOR THE 21ST
CENTURYWhat are the three significant competitive realities that underscore why our education systems are due for dramatic change?
For the past decade, the United States has focused nationally on closing achievement gaps between the
lowestand highest-performing students, and between the poorest and most affluent. Equally important,
however, is the global achievement gap between U.S. students—including our top-performing students—and their international peers in competitor nations. U.S.
students fare poorly compared to their counterparts on international assessments, such as the Programme for
International Student Assessment (PISA).
1. The United States faces two student achievement gaps
Over the last several decades, the industrial economy based on manufacturing has shifted to a
service economy driven by information, knowledge, innovation and creativity. In this new, globally
interconnected economy, technology has supported these changes, which include flatter management
structures, decentralized decision making, information sharing and the use of task teams, cross-organizational networking, just-in-time inventory and
flexible work arrangements.
2. Fundamental changes in the economy, jobs, and businesses have reshaped workplaces and the nature of work
Today more than ever, individuals must be able to perform non-routine, creative tasks if they are to succeed. While skills like self-direction, creativity, critical thinking, and innovation may not be new to the 21st century, they are newly relevant in an age where the ability to excel at non-routine work is not only
rewarded, but expected as a basic requirement. These are today’s survival skills— not only for career success, but for
personal and civic quality of life as well (Partnership for 21st Century Skills 2010).
