Even more worrisome is the predictions that if we continue to progress at our current pace, by 2030 half of all the youth—over 800 million young people—will not have basic secondary education level skills needed to keep up in a new economy. It is clear that globalization, advances in technology, and changing employment threaten to leave many behind.
