“A study released today by the polling firm Gallup Inc. finds that students’ exposure to so-called 21st-century skills in school correlates positively with “perceived quality of work” later in life…The skills in question…included collaboration, knowledge construction, global awareness, use of technology for learning, real-world problem solving, and skilled communication…The analysis shows that respondents who had a comparatively high degree of exposure to such skills in their last year of school were twice as likely to strongly agree that they are successful and valued in their current jobs.”(more)
