Look at the attributes on the right. These are the critical attributes of a 21 st Century worker and citizen. These need to form the foundation a 21 st Century education.
When you see the terms “21st Century Skills” and “Visual Literacy”, you will often see “ICT Literacy” coupled with them. ICT is “Information and Communications Technology Literacy.
So how is ICT Literacy (Information and communication technology literacy different from Technology Literacy?

The U.S. ranks 7 th of the G8 countries in 10 th grade math and problem solving. The U.S. also ranked below average on all of the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) measured areas in 2000. These rankings worsened in 2003, except for reading which remained flat. (Note: PISA measured “problem solving” for the first time in 2003). PISA looks at the results for roughly 15-year-old students as a measure of the output of primary and secondary schools. That age is chosen because many systems begin to move students to “higher and further” education schools and colleges at age 16. PISA which is internationally sponsored by the OECD is tracking with the U.S. sponsored Trends in International Mathematics and Science (TIMSS), that also shows the U.S. slipping or just treading water relative to the countries surveyed. TIMSS measures performance at fourth and eighth grades. Finally, the National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) is a U.S. specific measure at fourth, eighth, and twelfth grades. The NAEP began in 1990 in response to the 1983 report entitled, A Nation at Risk, that highlighted the bourgeoning gap between U.S. students and those of competitive countries. U.S. students have shown very modest improvement under NAEP, though it has been labeled as “too easy” by critics. More importantly, since NAEP performance has begun to influence federal funding of schools, it has influenced teaching practice to the point where science is all but excluded from K–8 curriculums, as it only tests reading and math. This in turn has led teaching colleges to essentially drop science from the preparation of teachers looking to teach in elementary grades. The are fewer and fewer jobs for science teachers at those grades despite ongoing shortages at the high school level.
