Do Schools Prepare Students for a Global Economy?
National and state education has its strengths and its weaknesses, and access to resources is at the heart of it all. When schools struggle to educate students at the state and national levels, how can they then educate students at the global level? This collection of essays provides your readers with insight into the complex conditions of creating global citizens. Essays debate whether American schools can achieve more by attempting less, whether online learning can help create global students, and the impact on educational budgets and a prepared workforce.
