... Yet the work force of the future will require a high level of technical skills using computers for tasks ranging from word-processing to controlling machines, analyzing complicated sets of data, and ensuring quality control in production processes. The academic preparation of this work force must incorporate skills for lifelong learning, strategies for problem-solving, practice in working collaboratively, and experience reading and interpreting technical documents.

... to design a core mathematics curriculum for the high school and community college levels that prepares students both for further formal education and for immediate employ ment in the technical work force? At what grade level, if any, is it appropriate to "track" students into technical education programs?
