  Global Education Futures:what is it 2 Global Education Futures is an international platform that brings together shapers and sherpahs of education & training systems and their industrial & political counterparts to discuss the future landscape of skills and global education & training ecosystem Over 500 global experts from 50 countries (incl. international education development agencies, leading EdTech providers, top universities etc.) participated in sessions held in Europe & Russia, United States, India, South Africa, Mexico, Brazil & Argentina, New Zealand, etc. Systemic innovations being scaled up on Russian & international level as a part of this effort since 2011

  What should bethe focus in understanding the future of skills & education? Early industrialized regions Industrialized regions Regions with dominant new or post-industrialized practicesCa. 40% of the world’s population (more in Africa, Latin America, Central Asia) Ca. 45% of the world’s population (more in China, India, the Arab World, SEA, parts of EU & North America) Ca. 15% of the world’s population (more in OECD countries + “pockets” within emerging economies) Our focus: looking at the cutting edge of technological & educational practices Flow of innovations Reverse flow exists, but it is much weaker 3

  Key drivers ofchange in global socio-economic model Automation of industrial & intellectual work ‘Digital Athens’: Humans pushed into the domain of creativity human-centered services, while automation does routine jobs Digitalization & proliferation of ICT Net-centric society: ‘net protocols’ spread in business, social life, and personal relationships ‘Greening’ of industries & cities Thrivable civilization based on greening + ‘ecology of mind’ + eco-systemic thinking & acting Acceleration of change & growth of complexity Lifelong learning Venture-driven economy (everyone’s entrepreneur) Change in value system: from money & status to trust, love, authenticity Change in governance system: from hierarchies based on autocracy / oligarchy (‘tyrannies of the few’) to collaborative governance based on deep democracy 4Source: GEF analysis

  Shape of thingsto come: a hypothesis on future job market landscape ~60% of jobs directly or indirectly serve systems of mass production (incl. design & engineering, finance, marketing etc.) Existing (industrial) model ~5-10% of jobs “feed” us (agriculture) ~20-25% of jobs are human-to- human services (incl. education, healthcare, wellness, govt etc.) Not more than 10-15% of high-skilled jobs (direct + indirect) remain in food, commodity & goods mass production due to automation Explosive growth to 50-60% of jobs in human-centered services (incl. new services) as they are least susceptible to automation Emerging model of 2030s 25-30% of jobs migrate into personalized manufacturing & urban-related jobs Source: GEF estimates Technological & social shifts of next 15-20 years Massive shifts of job market structure within less than one generation will require multiple mechanisms to smoothen transformation (including education & training) ~10% of jobs: urban-related services & products 6

  Demand of complex& dynamic society: transition to lifelong learning Life time, years Intensity 0… 25 50 75 100+ Education 2016 Education 2030s Key transformations: • There is no way to prepare for life in the increasingly uncertain world • (Thus) education is not about the start of life, it is about all of life • Education is not about getting a professional skill, it is about living through your life • Nobody can own or control your development & growth - but you. So you need to learn to become your own master, you need to learn how to learn • If learning is a lifetime journey, then it is not about goals, it is about quality of the process. Enjoy the way 9

  Educational ecosystems evolvefrom existing (industrial) education system in response to growing demand of transforming societies Educational ecosystems rise through creation of new educational forms and infrastructures that enable lifelong learning processes Increasing complexity of socio-technical systems redefines demand for new skills & knowledge and creates pressing need for continuous lifelong learning Existing institutional structures & set-ups become a burden, not an asset Low flexibility / resistance to change from within Technological enablers: • Mobility & connectivity • Automation (Big Data / AI / etc.) Source: GEF analysis 10

  Voice of (Young)Learners: include the users into the development of educational systems «When it comes to the design of social and societal systems of all kinds, it is the users, the people in the system who are the experts. Nobody has the right to design social systems for someone else. It is unethical to do so.» Bela Banathy- «Designing Social Systems in a Changing World» One of the lines of work in Global Education Futures is the involvement of young learners (age 9 to 16) into the redesign and active change of education system in their own interest. Pilot sessions of the Voice of Youth project were held in Russia, Argentina and the US (California). In 2016-17, the project will continue with session to be held in ca. 20 countries of the world.

  Voice of Youth:they want more than we offer Position regarding schools • School are necessary, but they should be first of all a “meeting place” for action-based learning together with peers and adult experts • Education should be fun (interactive and gamified) and useful (practice- oriented) • Assessment / evaluation is required, but primarily as a feedback. “The culture of mistake”: it is OK to make mistakes, as we learn through this • Technologies should be omni-present, but they should not replace teachers and learning partners, as they are a complementary tool • Main problem of education is “teachers’ pessimism”, their lack of faith in the future and their feeling of helplessness that they transfer to children! • School should teach us how to live, not how to pass exams! Another world is coming: the dreams & suggestions from children • They are ready to become participants and leaders of change • They want borderless global world without wars, supported by multi- cultural literacy & peacemaking • They think “greening” is their main task: learn how to feel the nature, reconnect with it, and stop harming it • We should cease animal abuse and learn how to be kind to people • Technology frees people from routine and allows them to communicate and create, and brings parents back home (need for family reintegration) • Their main concern: “adults won’t let us do anything"
