    The document discusses the changing needs of education and skills for the 21st century workplace. It notes that schools must prepare students for jobs and technologies that have yet to be invented by fostering skills like collaboration, problem solving, creativity, critical thinking and professional networking. While academic standards remain important, employers also increasingly want these soft skills. As a result, many businesses are offering training to promote skills like adaptability, innovation and communication that schools don't traditionally teach but are essential for future success. The document advocates for shifting education from one-size-fits-all and teacher-centered models to more personalized, student-centered and globally collaborative learning approaches.

    "Today, because of rapid economic and

    social change, schools have to prepare


    students for jobs that have not yet
    been created, technologies that have
    not yet been invented and problems
    that we don't yet know will arise."
    " after all, it is the ability to work in a team,
    problem solve on the fly, and apply Creative
    Solutions that will be the common currency
    in the world of future work. Being able to
    think critically and create a professional
    network will be the core competencies of the
    twenty-first century knowledge worker."
    “While employers continue to demand High
    academic standards , they also now want more.
    They want people who can adapt, see
    connections, innovate, communicate and work
    with others... Many businesses are paying for
    courses to promote creative abilities, to teach the
    skills and the attitudes that are now essential for
    economic success but which our education
    system is not designed to promote. .”
