Education is one of the triumphs of modern civilization.
![Page 4: The Gap Between Education Business Needs](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060121/559433d81a28ab9b1a8b462d/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
According to census data, over 40% of the U.S. population has an associate degree or higher.
![Page 5: The Gap Between Education Business Needs](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060121/559433d81a28ab9b1a8b462d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
With higher education attendance continuing to rise, it’s only a matter of time before half the population
has degrees.

But is all of this education really serving our needs, either as a society or as a
business community?
![Page 7: The Gap Between Education Business Needs](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060121/559433d81a28ab9b1a8b462d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Approximately one in four employers (24%) at a global level report that general lack of experiences
at the root of the talent shortages they face,
![Page 8: The Gap Between Education Business Needs](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060121/559433d81a28ab9b1a8b462d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
while nearly one in five employers (19%) say candidates lack the required employability
skills or “soft skills”
![Page 9: The Gap Between Education Business Needs](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060121/559433d81a28ab9b1a8b462d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Interpersonal skills (5%), Professionalism (e.g. appearance, punctuality) (4%), Flexibility and adaptability (4%).
Skills deficiencies, including:

This is not an issue confined within the borders of the U.S.; it can be seen across multiple developed
countries and regions.

As an example, while every pronouncement of the UK government’s controversial educational
secretary Michael Gove is at least he is triggering debate about education
![Page 12: The Gap Between Education Business Needs](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060121/559433d81a28ab9b1a8b462d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
“I regard education as the means in which individuals can gain access to all the goods other goods that we value, cultural, social and economical, on their terms.” - Michael Gove

as in the U.S., no one is asking…

We set it up to achieve those ends and refine it to ensure that they are met.

This should also apply in education.

The ability to think creatively, to adapt and apply, to act with initiative is as vital to business
success as it is to human fulfillment and creating happy employees.

Sadly, this is not what our education system is built around.

Our system rewards rote learning and rote thinking…

If every assignment is marked on citing past sources, where is the reward for
coming up with your own ideas?

We don’t set out to teach interpersonal skills and communication at all…

Employers identified a number of soft skills deficiencies, including enthusiasm/motivation (5%), interpersonal skills (4%)

These are difficult, complex areas, and the proliferaAon of counselors and speaking coaches shows how much value we can gain from training.

As for information, we may talk about teaching how to process it, but we exam on the ability to recall facts,
![Page 49: The Gap Between Education Business Needs](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060121/559433d81a28ab9b1a8b462d/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

We are teaching a small part of that information, a part which in the Internet age is
already available at the push of a button.

There are many implicaAons and assumpAons behind our current
educaAon system.

but unless they are directly addressed they will continue to shape our education system
in unhelpful ways.
