Education and Human Capital Requirements Roundtable

The McGraw-Hill Research Foundation and United States Council Foundation Issued a White Paper Exploring New Approaches to Lifelong Learning for the 21st Century

A white paper released today from the United States Council Foundation, the educational arm of the United States Council for International Business (USCIB), and The McGraw-Hill Research Foundation summarizes the conclusions of “The Education and Human Capital Requirements Roundtable.”  In order to address the needs of the 21^st century economy, educators, policy makers and the business community should develop a common global approach to education, skills development and lifelong learning. Suggested approaches include building resilience into curriculums and shifting the focus from either/or knowledge or skills training to an area that includes both.

The paper calls for a continuous, cogent conversation to respond to the global and personal challenges of the 21st century.  To download a copy “The Education and Human Capital Requirements Roundtable”  CLICK HERE
