Our lives are global. Rapid and constant change is bringing new demands to how we live and work, who we interact with and how we see ourselves.
In an age of globalisation, our education system must remain relevant to the economies and societies of tomorrow.
More than ever, young people need to master new types of knowledge, skills and dispositions to take advantage of a world that is becoming bigger and smaller at the same time.
