While great strides have been made in many parts of the world in ensuring that more young people have access to education, the stark fact remains that an estimated 110 million of the world’s children are not in school. For those that do have access to education, we need to ask ourselves, are they learning what they need to know in order to succeed? Is that education relevant to their needs? Are there strategies and approaches that can dramatically improve the quality of learning young people experience, while mobilizing diverse sectors of society in strengthening existing educational resources?

What Works in Education: Facing the New Century presents a careful analysis of current trends in education and learning, highlighting various myths in our approaches to education and positive signs of change as we enter a knowledgedriven era with new educational demands.
