This document discusses challenges and opportunities for education in the 21st century. It notes that 65% of today's primary school students will work in jobs that don't yet exist, and skills considered crucial for most jobs will change rapidly. New skills like collaboration, problem-solving, and digital literacy are important. Educational approaches need to evolve, such as through personalized, experiential, collaborative and lifelong learning. Teachers require continuous professional development to support new pedagogies like flipped classrooms, makerspaces and blended learning. Campuses should be redesigned to foster these approaches through facilities like challenge sheds and digital libraries.
