Ours is a world of 24-hour news cycles, global markets, and high-speed Internet. We need to look no further than our morning paper to see that our future, and the future of our children, is inextricably linked to the complex challenges of the global community. And for our children to be prepared to take their place in that world and rise to those challenges, they must first understand it. US Secretary of Education (2003)
Today s schools are out of sync with the realities of our global world. School of Ed Professors Suarez-Orozco & Satin

The forces for change facing the world could be so far-reaching, complex, and interactive that they call for nothing less than the reeducation of humankind. Paul Kennedy Preparing for the Twenty-First Century (1992)
The world is indifferent to tradition and past reputations, unforgiving of frailty and ignorant of custom or practice. Success will go to those individuals and countries that are swift to adapt, slow to complain, and open to change. A. Schleicher, 2006 EU Report
