Educating Leaders for a Global Age Download
Educating Leaders for a Global Society details the challenges facing America’s education system in preparing young people to compete and succeed in a globalized economy. The report provides examples of investments other countries are making in education to stay competitive as well as examples of successful international education programs in the United States.

The report details how U.S. workers in virtually every sector face competitors who live just a mouse click away in Europe, China, India, and in dozens of other nations whose economies are growing. Improving math and science skills among U.S. students remains critically important, and has been the subject of wide public attention. Just as important, according to the report, is the need to promote international knowledge and language skills for all students, not just selected few. The report calls on business leaders, educators and policy makers to expand public and philanthropic investments in international education and language programs.
