The Competition That Really Matters

A new report from The Center for the Next Generation & the Center for American Progress explores how American investment in education stacks up against growing economies like India and China--and what that means for the next Generation.

American voters don't have high hopes that the leaders of tomorrow will hail from the U.S, according to a national survey released by The Center for the Next Generation.

American children and families do not receive adequate support to ensure their success in the global market.

China is fast developing a skilled-workforce that will soon

outnumber--and may soon out-compete--America's workforce. The reasons: China is aggressively investing in its children.

India has adopted a national economic strategy focused

on education. Its national policies to increase the skills of its young workforce are reaping dividends.

American voters recognize the issue, but they have not given up. An overwhelming majority of voters want their political leaders to make education a higher priority.
