To what extent do you agree with this assertion?

• The civic competencies (knowledge, skills, and

  needed in generations of the past. Todays
  citizens need new skills (e.g., media literacy,
  global awareness, etc.) that go beyond
  traditional civics content. As a result, new,
  innovative teaching strategies are needed in
  order to reach these higher outcomes among
  students.
