This paper raises serious doubts regarding the success of our educational system in preparing students for the knowledge society. According to the author the knowledge economy "...holds the promise of changing, to our benefit, some of the most deep-seated and universal regularities of economic life and of dramatically enhancing productivity and growth. Its effects, however, have so far proved modest." The disruption brought by the new technologies can cause an even bigger inequality in societies. Worth thinking about it.
