Eko Sudibyo

The document discusses the need for education reform to prepare students with 21st century skills for economic competitiveness. It notes that: 1) The economy has shifted from manufacturing to a service-based, information and knowledge driven model requiring more educated and skilled workers. 2) Jobs are increasingly in high-skilled service sectors and require problem-solving, communication, and technical skills beyond a high school education. 3) For countries and regions to be economically competitive, they must have workforces with the creativity, innovation and adaptability to drive high-growth industries. Reforming education is critical to closing achievement gaps and ensuring students gain the skills needed to thrive in today's economy and workplaces.

The document discusses how baby boomers are beginning to retire, creating workforce challenges. It notes that demographics in the US will change dramatically as baby boomers exit the workforce and prime-age populations shrink. Additionally, skills requirements are rising even for blue-collar jobs, and many future jobs will require postsecondary education. However, the US is falling behind internationally in areas like the number of students pursuing STEM degrees. This skills gap could undermine the US economy if not addressed.

Mo keynote v1.0

The document discusses the need to shift education, including career and technical education (CTE), to better prepare students for 21st century jobs and the changing economy. It notes that over 95% of test questions require students to recall information, rather than think at higher levels. CTE classrooms aim to develop skills through applied, problem-based learning centered around real-world problems. The structure of CTE differs from traditional academics by utilizing andragogical teaching methods focused on self-directed, experience-based learning for students. The document advocates for greater integration of academic and CTE programs to develop students' problem-solving, critical thinking, and technical skills through transdisciplinary learning experiences.

Ed net insight | stem: mainstreaming career and technical education (cte)

Jim Brazell, CEO and Founder, ventureRAMP, Inc. — Friday, March 12, 2010 Fueled by Washington’s focus on STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) and U.S. competitiveness, Career and Technical Education (CTE) is emerging as a platform for systemic education reform in Texas, New York, California, Florida, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina, Kansas, and Arizona. The implication for the educational technology and publishing industry is a wave of change enabling educational technology and textbook budgets to include CTE curricula and infrastructure. The rise of STEM broadens the definition of educational technology to support high-technology “shop” classes and broadens the market for kits, labs, simulations, and software and “hands-on” projects in K-12 schools.
