Answer 1

Answer:

Preparing our children for the challenges of today, and tomorrow

If you work in or around education, attend any education related conference, or have just been following the debates in education for the past 20 years or so you’ll be familiar with the phrase “21st century skills”.

So frequently is this phrase used in the discourse on education today that when uttered it generates involuntary winces amongst those listening. On the education conference circuit “21st century skills” is the certainty on the buzzword bingo card. Never mind that we’re almost at the end of the second decade of a century that is the only one that every child in school has ever known.

To be fair, it’s a well-intentioned phrase used by well-intentioned people. I’m sure it’s a phrase that’s passed my lips on more than one occasion even before I saw the foolishness of it.
