The Problem & The Solution

The Problem

As society and the technology job market continue to change at exponential rates, current educational methods and content from Pre-K to academia are losing relevance.

As society and the technology job market continue to change at exponential rates, current educational methods and content from Pre-K to academia are losing relevance.

The Solution

A holistic national vision for STEM education with collaboratively defined "graduate profiles" outlining STEM knowledge and skills at each stage of the educational continuum from Pre-K to academia - in order to guide transformation of the entire educational process and build skilled human capital over generations.
