Don’t Miss the Keynote of
Andreas Schleicher
Director for Education and Skills, and Special Advisor on Education Policy to the Secretary-General at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)
During the last round of data collection and data analysis, PISA significantly expanded the study of social, emotional, and 21st Century competencies as well as learning in extended education settings.
Andreas Schleicher will report on some of the findings and make the data-based case for shifting curricular/cognitive competences needed by children and adolescents in modern societies. He will also address both curricular learning and extra-curricular learning as integral aspects of any national educational system by exploring outcomes in different countries. What are different priorities, goals and organizational structures in select countries and how do these choices get reflected in data on academic, social and life skills and competencies.
This keynote is central to the mission of GELYDA in bridging policy, practice and research and to moving education into an exciting new and innovative era world-wide. We believe that school alone cannot prepare young people for a healthy and prosperous future.
