The New Vision for Education project examines the pressing issue of skills gaps and explores ways to address these gaps through technology. Key learnings include:

-Education needs to address the 21st-century skills fully in order to prepare students for the evolving job market;
-Education gaps exist between the developed and developing world, and countries vary on their respective outcome on 21st-century skill performance;
-Technology, once integrated holistically for targeted problems, has the potential to help education better address these gaps; and,
-Multistakeholder approach is required to fully realize the potential of technology to innovate education for the future.
