One of the challenges faced by governments and educational systems is that today’s students will live and work in a different and unstable world of tomorrow. They will need new skills and competencies they have not acquired at schools or universities. The twenty-first-century knowledge, skills, and competencies requirements are still debatable. However, everyone agrees that they are different from the whole of human history in quantity and quality.
This book presents and explores the primary features of global education and some of the twenty-first-century competencies frameworks. It also discusses the educational systems, the curricula, teaching, and learning approaches that fit the twenty-first century and digital natives’ needs at present and future.
