According to a newly released short strategy document from the U.S. Department of Education, "it is vital to prepare students to engage with the world. An effective domestic education agenda must aim to develop a globally and culturally competent citizenry. It is not enough to focus solely on reading, writing, mathematics and science skills. Today's world also increasingly requires critical thinking and creativity to solve complex problems, well-honed communication skills, the ability to speak other languages, and advanced mathematics, science, and technical skills." It's nice to see a discussion of education that reflects aspirations, and not collective fears and insecurities. Via The PIE News.
