Education, knowledge, training, educational system, school: concepts, processes, institutions and structures that are interdependent and shape the most crucial element of progress in every society and economy.
The advent of digital technology, the 4th Industrial Revolution, has brought to light two dominant issues: the skills that young people must possess, and the importance of linking education to the labor market. Technological expertise alone is not enough to be a source of innovation. It must be combined with business capabilities, organizational know-how, and design.
What can we do to ensure that education keeps pace with developments? By combining elements from economics, psychology, and sociology, and bringing the discussion back to the essence of the matter, educator Athena Primikiri highlights the need for the convergence of the forces of knowledge, healthy entrepreneurship, and civil society.
As technological advancement continues in all sectors, the educational system will continue to play a crucial role in developing the necessary skills, regardless of the form of the labor market or economic climate.
An extremely interesting and useful analysis of the importance of investing in education in the 21st century, as a necessary prerequisite for achieving sustainable development and social prosperity. An excellent read for all of us, but especially a valuable tool for all those responsible for shaping policies for skill development and innovation.
