5 charts that explain the future of education

Children need to learn social and emotional skills if they are to thrive in the workplace of the future, a World Economic Forum report has found. The new research shows that as the digital economy transforms the workplace, Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) skills such as collaboration, communication and problem solving will become ever more important as more traditional roles are mechanized. With more than half of children now entering school expected to work in jobs that don’t yet exist, adaptability is becoming a core skill. Social and Emotional Learning skills are those abilities that lie outside core literacies such as reading, writing and arithmetic. They allow creativity, problem solving and communication and have at their heart social interactions. Of 16 skills identified in the report as important for the 21st century, 12 are SEL. Students require 16 skills for the 21st century Image: WEF How do we know that jobs are going to change? This is a trend which is predicted to continue. Related: manuel2000

But keep in mind that “the classics” span a broad range. Instead of making one massive, overwhelming bucket list, break it up. Figure out what you already love All contemporary work is “imbued with the classical work,” Brooklyn Public Library librarian Ben Gocker points out. If you’re a devotee of Suzanne Collins’s Hunger Games books, there’s a chance you’ll get obsessed with George Orwell’s 1984 or Philip K. “Think of it as monkey bars,” Gocker suggests.
