Innovation and Education: Are we investing well?

On January 18th, 2008, ASTRA and CSIS sponsored a discussion that critically examined the role ofeducation in driving innovation. We also reviewed how well American students are doing relative to their peers in other nations. Our objective was to shed a little light on this highly complex area to find out where we appear to be doing well and where we need to consider changing to improve our education outcomes.
