Small steps in the right direction?: restructuring public education

Yolanda Kodrzycki and Cathy E. Minehan

Annual Report, 2002, 6-25

Abstract: When the term \\"knowledge-based economy\\" first entered popular discussion - sometime around the early 1980s - the focus was exclusively on scientific, technological, and business leadership. Only gradually did our society come to appreciate the pervasiveness of the knowledge-based economy. It affects not just the demand for high-level technical and entrepreneurial talent but, indeed, the job requirements for virtually all types of work. This growing realization has laid the foundation for broad-scale reforms of education in the United States and many other nations.
