Education in the world

Introduction

• This report examines, summarizes, and offers solutions to what may be the biggest challenge facing
• the United States in the coming decades. As other countries become increasingly competitive
• through rising levels of interaction in the globalized economy, the U.S. is faced with the challenge
• of retaining the competitive advantage it has built through decades of economic growth. If the U.S.
• does not enact measures to counter this growing competition, it faces the risk of being
• outmaneuvered, outperformed, and outpaced by countries that have the ability to adapt to ever

• sufficient levels of global competency — that is, they have the right skills, aptitudes, and

• economy, 21st-century skills, international education, education and the economy, and civic returns
• on education, among others. First, the concept of global competency will be situated in a historical
• and theoretical context, briefly taking into account the historical backdrop that contributed to
• contemporary global education initiatives, as well as the theories of globalization as they relate to
• education. Then global competency will be defined using a framework that identifies three distinct

• perspectives, and attitudes.
