Social skills, extracurricular activities in high school pay off later in life By: Phil Ciciora
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — It turns out that being voted "Most likely to succeed" in high school might actually be a good predictor of one's financial and educational success later in life.
According to a University of Illinois professor who studies the sociology of education, high school sophomores who were rated by their teachers as having good social skills and work habits, and who participated in extracurricular activities in high school, made more money and completed higher levels of education 10 years later than their classmates who had similar standardized test scores but were less socially adroit and participated in fewer extracurricular activities. |

Illiteracy: impossible to hide
Source: UNESCO
According to the latest UNESCO global report on education, more and more people know how to read and write, but 776 million adults are still illiterate. This phenomenon affects industrialized countries, where a minority of the population faces daily difficulties.
Someone in the street, on public transport or in a shopping centre, asks for directions, although everything is clearly indicated on signs. He or she seems absent-minded, very tired, or exasperated by contradictory information. Sometimes those asked for information think nothing of it. Other times, they understand: this person does not know how to read, and is making an incredible effort to hide it.
