Advancing Opportunity:
New models of schooling
'Preparing for uncertainty...
Despite more students achieving more qualifications, employers continue to complain about the work readiness of new recruits. Increasingly the concerns expressed are not just about the three “R”s but about competences such as team working, adaptability, communication and problem solving. The future labour market is unpredictable, but it is widely assumed not only that these cross-cutting competencies will be as economically important as more traditional subject-based knowledge, but also that young people need them in order to be the successful citizens of tomorrow.'
Matthew Taylor, Chief Executive of the RSA
