"This week, the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee held a hearing on 'The Key to America’s Global Competitiveness: A Quality Education.' In his opening statement, Chairman Tom Harkin (D-IA) framed the purpose of the hearing, saying 'What our children and grandchildren learn today will determine America’s productivity in the future, and that depends on preparing them to compete in a global marketplace more competitive than at any other time in history. But while globalization and technology have dramatically increased the skills and qualifications required to succeed today, our schools are largely geared toward the assumptions of a 20th century workplace.' Read more about the hearing, including witnesses’ statements submitted for the hearing on the Committee website."
