The partnership asks: What skills do children need to be taught and how can we teach these skills so that all children will prosper in the future?
Little scholarly and policy knowledge currently exists about what kinds of education and skills children will need to thrive in the future. Of that research, very little focuses on children; research and policy attention has been focused on the adult learner and worker. Technological change is happening so quickly that jobs are emerging and disappearing in unpredictable ways. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown that our current methods of education delivery are not agile, efficient, or equitable.
Our work will: contribute vital insights to academic research on children’s learning; provide practical information on how to design programs that support children’s education; and create workable solutions for parents, policymakers, and community providers.
