World Savvy, an organization dedicated to global education, has released the results of its Global Competency Poll. The research was conducted online between June 29th and July 6th among 502 high school graduates ages 18-24.

The resulting analysis of the poll includes the following points:
There is a high demand among young adults for global competency education.
Global issues not regularly discussed in high school; knowledge somewhat lacking.
Data suggests a relationship between global event discussions in high school and future interests/behaviors.
The vast majority of respondents wish their high school curriculum had a more global approach.
