This report summarizes the research on educational systems in 20 major cities worldwide, surveying more than 9,000 parents of primary and secondary school-age children around the world. Bain’s experts expect an era of massive labor market transformation.

The report highlights the need to develop individual interests and talents by shaping the child’s educational trajectory, providing extracurricular activities, etc.

The experts have traced the progress of technology and educational innovations at schools.

Finally, the report stresses the need for schools to comply with modern-world requirements providing knowledge and skills in line with prospective labor-market demands (such as foreign-language proficiency, computer skills, etc).
