There is also a need for personalized learning to cater to diverse learning styles and needs.

Employers value a college degree but think students lack some skills, survey says

More than 80% also agreed that higher education prepares graduates for entry-level work and advancing in a company.

Students are lacking in some skills employers find important, though. Only about half of respondents indicated students were very prepared in areas related to critical thinking and complex problem-solving.

About two-thirds of employers said they considered “knowledge gained from addressing real-problems” to be very important. That was a higher share than those who thought knowledge of certain disciplines was very important.

About half of employers said interdisciplinary knowledge, or knowledge of science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields, were very important.

The updated mathematics program, emphasizes real-world applications, technology integration, and student-centered learning along with the consideration of Social-Emotional Learning

New Mathematics Curriculum includes inquiry-based learning, integration with real-world problems, and emphasis on understanding concepts rather than rote memorization.
