OECD Future of Education and Skills 2030 Thought Leaders

How can we prepare students for jobs that have not yet been created, to tackle societal challenges that we can’t yet imagine, and to use technologies that have not yet been invented? How can we equip them to thrive in an interconnected world where they need to understand and appreciate different perspectives and world views, interact respectfully with others, and take responsible action towards sustainability and collective well-being?

Recognising the urgent need to open a global discussion about education, in 2015 the OECD launched the Future of Education and Skills 2030 project. The project aims to set goals and develop a common language for teaching and learning.

Phase I of the project focuses on curriculum redesign and developing a conceptual framework for learning 2030. Phase II focuses on curriculum implementation and creating a conceptual framework for teaching 2030.

The OECD Future of Education and Skills 2030 project is honoured to partner with these distinguished Thought Leaders around the world whose work aligns with the aims of the project, and in particular with the key concepts of the OECD Learning Compass 2030. Their work helps make our shared vision a reality!
