Education 4.0: Here Are 3 Skills That Students Will Need for the Jobs of the Future
January 2, 2023
The Education 4.0 initiative from the World Economic Forum presents a unique opportunity to upgrade educational systems around the world. Centering individual skill-building and classroom learning around three skills—problem-solving, collaboration, and adaptability—offers young people the greatest opportunity to succeed in the global economy. Today on the WEF blog, our CEO Asheesh Advani explains why in “Education 4.0: Here are 3 skills that students will need for the jobs of the future”:
Education 4.0 reimagines education as an inclusive, lifelong experience that places the responsibility for skill-building on the learner, with teachers and mentors acting as facilitators and enablers.
To create the environment required to foster Education 4.0, existing educational systems must be upgraded and invested in.
Problem-solving, collaboration and adaptability are the three critical skills that Education 4.0 must impart to students.
