This ebook consists of a summary of the ideas, viewpoints and facts presented by Tony Wagner in his book "The Global Achievement Gap: Why Even Our Best School Don't Teach the New Survival Skills Our Children Need- And What We Can Do About it". This summary offers a concise overview of the entire book in less than 30 minutes reading time. However this work does not replace in any case Tony Wagner's book.Wagner examines the disconnect between what schools are providing students- passive learning experience and what employers are looking for-critical thinkers and problem solvers. He also recommends ways to motivate the future generation to succeed in today's world.
