Education Reform and National Security of US University of Management & Technology Lahore 4 America’s failure to educate is affecting its national security. Despite sustained unemployment, employers are finding it difficult to hire Americans with necessary skills, and many expect this problem to intensify. For example, 63 percent of life science and aerospace firms report shortages of qualified workers. In the defense and aerospace industries, many executives fear this problem will accelerate in the coming decade as 60 percent of the existing workforce reaches retirement age. University of Management & Technology Lahore 5 Most young people do not qualify for military service. A recent study on military readiness found that 75 percent of U.S. citizens between the ages of seventeen and twenty-four are not qualified to join the military because they are physically unfit, have criminal records, or have inadequate levels of education. University of Management & Technology Lahore 6 The 25 percent of students who drop out of high school are unqualified to serve, as are the approximately 30 percent of high school graduates who do graduate but do not know enough math, science, and English to perform well on the mandatory Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery.
