The need for Metro Wiz Kids programs is clear. School‐sponsored technology education programs are severely limited if they exist at all. Driven by economics, most notably with the passage of state legislation limiting school funding, many schools have removed hands on science learning opportunities in order to spend more time teaching reading, writing, and math. Ironically, this is happening at a time when the need for technology‐oriented skills is rapidly increasing. Math Science 4 th - 12 and 6 8 th – 15 and 9 th - 28 and 22 Which countries provide the most innovation-friendly climates for companies? That's the question the Boston Consulting Group , working with the National Association of Manufacturers' Manufacturing Institute, set out to answer in its recent survey. BCG consultants, led by James P. Andrew, looked at both "inputs"—government policies supporting education, workforce quality, infrastructure, and trade—and "performance"—R&D results, business performance, employment growth, and other impacts of innovation.
