| Abstract: | In the past years, as USA business has taken an interest in the education debate, two assumptions have prevailed. First, schools are the problem and business is the solution. Second, school is school and work is work. But these assumptions on longer hold, today school is about working and work is about learning. To change the schools, executives must change what happens inside their companies. Skills gap is a current reality. 20 - 30 p.c. of USA workers are deficient in basic skills they need to do their job effectively. Only 5 p.c. of companies see education and skills requirements rising. Workers say they need more training but will attend classes only if required by their employers. If business has education problem, schools have a work problem. |
