Many Students Lacking in Skills

Posted on January 23, 2006

A shocking new study that found that many students lack the problem solving skills that are important in life and in the workplace. The study found that 50% off students at four-year colleges and 75% of students at two-year colleges did not have the skills required to perform complex literacy tasks.

It is astounding that so many students have trouble with these kinds of skills. How many of these students performed poorly on the tests but could still set up an Internet account at MySpace.com or use email? Maybe for some of theme it was more of an unfamiliarity with the topics than a lack of skills. Let's hope so because these are the kinds of skills that employers basically assume college graduates possess.
