An emerging message

Just through thinking about the simplest educational system (and the first infographic idea that comes to mind from the previous post), a very simple emerging message comes out: 

education as it stands does not educate children to become the citizens that the world needs today

 This begs a few questions:

• What are the goals of education?
• What skills to today's children need to become the citizens of tomorrow?
• What does education currently accomplish?
• What are the features of the current educational system that lead to those accomplishments?
• What is missing?

One question in terms of what message I want to tackle is the question of purpose. Do I want to complain about a problem, or offer a solution? Of course, one is easier than the other, but arguably one is more useful than the other.
