           Here is a very interesting statistic I read in an editorial by NYC  Mayoral candidate Bill De Blasio on the current state of education .

According to the federal Department of Education, 60% of the jobs in the 21st century will require skills held by just 20% of today’s workforce.
 

 (Fact quoted from an editorial in the Daily News published on October 11th and wriiten by Bill De Blasio.) The full editorial can be accessed through the following link.

What do you believe are the implications of this fact? What can we do to prepare children to hold skills that will be required for jobs in the 21st Century? Can games be designed and used in anyway to solve this problem?
